A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in ...

Researchers have discovered a key transition in early embryonic development is facilitated by decreasing levels of a viral protein inserted into the DNA of our early animal ancestors. Researchers at ...

Animal embryos go through a series of characteristic developmental stages on their journey from a fertilized egg cell to a functional organism. This biological process is largely genetically ...

Study reveals that genomic nuclear speckle-associated domains (SPADs) are step-wise organized during mouse early embryogenesis, with key factors contribution in this process. Following mammalian ...

Disrupting maternal gut-immune axis perturbed immune networks in developing mouse brains, revealing potential mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disorders.

Nearly half the embryos studied underwent developmental arrest because of genetic mishaps in early development—a revealing insight that suggests more IVF babies could come to term with changes in the ...
