Researchers have found a new way to produce human blood cells in the lab that mimics the process in natural embryos.

Human embryo models capable of synthesizing their own blood have been developed, in an advance that could lead to new ...

Cancer cells are known to reawaken embryonic genes to grow. A new study reveals the disease also hijacks the proteins, or ...

Scientists have created the first detailed day-by-day map of human embryo development using single-cell technology.

Cambridge scientists grow ‘hematoids’, embryo-like structures from stem cells that generate blood stem cells after two weeks ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that ...

Despite being an essential developmental process, the understanding of human embryonic genome activation is limited, owing to the lack of in vitro cell models and ethical concerns. To advance ...

Our ancient past isn't always buried history. When it comes to our DNA, nearly 9% of the human genome is made up of leftover genetic material from ancient viruses (called endogenous retroviruses or ...

A recent study delves into the pivotal role of Setd2, a histone methyltransferase enzyme, in embryonic development within mice. Setd2 is instrumental in the trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 36 ...
