A study published today in the journal Developmental Cell uncovers new insights into how the heart forms during the earliest stages of embryonic development. The research, led by scientists at the ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that ...

Glial cells in the heart help regulate heart rate and rhythm, and drive its development in the embryo, according to a new study publishing November 18 th in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by ...

After more than a decade of research, University of Cambridge scientists have created “embryos from mouse stem cells that form a brain, a beating heart, and the foundations of all the other organs of ...

The embryo-like model could help scientists test new drugs, create stem cells for transplants and research blood disorders ...

The findings shed light on the origins of congenital heart defects and could open new avenues in regenerative medicine and tissue bioengineering. A study published today in the journal Developmental ...

Cambridge scientists grow ‘hematoids’, embryo-like structures from stem cells that generate blood stem cells after two weeks ...

An extraordinary new study has detailed the development of a nearly complete mouse embryo – with muscles, blood vessels and a tiny beating heart – grown in a lab dish out of stem cells. The research ...

A cross-department collaboration headed by researchers at Harvard Medical School and Harvard University has witnessed the moment at which cells in the zebrafish embryo heart start beating in unison ...

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have harnessed mouse stem cells to create model “synthetic” embryos that comprise a brain, a beating heart, and the foundations of all the other organs of ...

Scientists have created the miracle of life — no male or female necessary. Using only a mixture of stem cells, University of Cambridge researchers were able to generate a live, “synthetic” mouse ...
