Researchers led by developmental biologist Kathy Niakan at the University of Cambridge have used base editing in human embryos to learn more about human embryonic development. By deactivating a gene ...

Formation of the blastocyst is a critical event in embryogenesis occurring in the first week of human development. Two sequential cell fate decisions segregate the embryonic pluripotent epiblast from ...

Understanding the mechanisms of early human embryogenesis is pivotal for addressing global health challenges — from infertility and congenital defects to adult diseases rooted in developmental ...

Scientists have, for the first time, used an extremely precise genome editing technique called base editing to study gene ...

Multicellularity is one of the most profound phenomena in biology, and relies on the ability of a single cell to reorganize itself into a complex organism. It underpins the diversity in the animal ...
