The human genome is no longer just a sequence to be read. It’s a dynamic structure that twists, folds, and reshapes itself in ...

At the end of the 4-cell stage, embryos divide to the 8-cell stage, forming many different shapes and high variability between embryos. Then, cells increase their surface tension which brings cells ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but ...

Imagine if our bodies could grow new organs throughout our entire lives. Plants do this constantly, thanks to tiny, powerful ...

There is variability in when and how cells divide during the development of embryos. While researchers traditionally believed this variability was an obstacle that needed to be regulated, the Hiiragi ...

During early development, tissues and organs begin to bloom through the shifting, splitting, and growing of many thousands of ...

Zebrafish can regenerate sensory hair cells that humans permanently lose, like those in the inner ear linked to hearing and balance. New research reveals two specific genes that control how different ...

A hidden clue may explain why some mutated cells become cancerous and others don’t: how fast they divide. A new study from researchers at Sinai Health in Toronto reveals that the total time it takes ...

There is variability in when and how cells divide during the development of embryos. While researchers traditionally believed this variability was an obstacle that needed to be regulated, a group now ...

A new study led by Dr. YANG Weibing from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered a hidden "molecular gatekeeper" that controls the ...
