The finding that some genes are active from the get-go challenges the textbook view that genes don’t become active in human embryos until they are…
Over the last 100 years, many fossilized dinosaur eggs and nests have been found, but finding one with a well-preserved embryo inside is exceedingly rare….
A 72 to 66-million-year-old embryo found inside a fossilized dinosaur egg sheds new light on the link between the behavior of modern birds and dinosaurs,…

The research enables far more accurate models of human development and disease and could help solve the shortage of organs for transplant. A year after…
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Arts and Sciences and the Perelman School of Medicine provide a molecular ‘atlas’ of animal development—a molecular…
Many women struggling to have a baby turn to in-vitro fertilization to improve their chances, and then face further uncertainty and anxiety when confronted with…
In a newly published study, Yale researchers detail a genetic mutation associated with congenital heart disease that disrupts a key signaling mechanism and leads to…
In a newly published study, Yale University geneticists report that three factors — Nanog, Pou5f1 (or Oct4) and SoxB1 — are indeed needed to push…
New research from the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares reveals that cells in the early embryo battle each other to death to become part of…
New technology that would allow genetic material to shuffle between unfertilized eggs is ready to make healthier babies. This technique would allow parents to minimize…
