University of Sydney researchers have developed a new way to test how closely lab-grown biological models resemble real human ...

Organ maturation is an emerging focus in the fields of organoid and developmental biology. The authors show that high tonicity drives the maturation of renal collecting ducts in vitro and in vivo, ...

A new study takes a tour of the history of research into human embryology and development to show the "cycles of attention" that led to major scientific breakthroughs. Analyzing the past sheds light ...

Tiny, striped zebrafish are helping scientists trace how a gene linked to albinism influences eye development, work that may ...

A new genetic screening method allows researchers to efficiently modulate individual genes across entire tissues and provides new insights into human development. The research, published in eLife, is ...

For decades, the prevailing model held that a single kind of progenitor, or precursor, cell gave rise to the entire brain.

The human brain begins developing along two distinct paths, a discovery that could help scientists grow hard-to-make neurons in the lab.

A new genetic screening method allows researchers to efficiently modulate individual genes across entire tissues and provides new insights into human development. The research, published previously as ...
