Gastric-brooding frogs incubate their eggs in their stomachs, as the name suggests. Doing so involves neutralizing the acid ...

Migration of cell populations is a fundamental process in morphogenesis and disease. The mechanisms of collective cell migration of epithelial cell populations have been well studied. It remains ...

Although Otx2 has been a topic of research for over 3 decades, the role of Otx2 expressed in the brain-forming anterior epiblast during gastrulation has not been clarified. We focused on epiblast ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...

Researchers at UCL and the Francis Crick Institute have, for the first time, identified the origin of cardiac cells using 3D images of a heart forming in real-time, inside a living mouse embryo. For ...

Ms. Montgomery is the author of “What the Chicken Knows” and other books on animals. Every spring, I’d eagerly await my special package — a box that arrived peeping. Inside were just-hatched chicks, ...

The film explores the reproductive cycles and embryonic development of amphibians, specifically frogs and salamanders. It details the processes of fertilization, egg development, and the stages of ...

Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), used CRISPR to engineer cellular models of embryos that mimic what happens in the first few days after reproductive cells meet. These ...

New biophysics research adds to our knowledge about the origins of left-right asymmetry in the body. Most animals, including humans, have bilateral symmetry, which means our bodies are pretty ...

Graduate student Shubham Sinha (left) and assistant professor of physics Vivek Prakash (right) stand in front of projections of cell motion inside chicken embyros that they captured. Their research, ...
