The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how a humble single cell becomes an organism fascinates scientists across ...

Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), used CRISPR to engineer cellular models of embryos that mimic what happens in the first few days after reproductive cells meet. These ...

By editing thousands of genes in mouse stem cells, the scientists identified a list of over 300 that are crucial for neural differentiation.

For several years, researchers studied human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to understand the unique features of these pluripotent cells, but on their own, they poorly resembled the complex structures ...

A team at Kobe University has created a game-changing resource for autism research: 63 mouse embryonic stem cell lines, each carrying a genetic mutation strongly associated with the disorder. By ...

Jennifer Zenker receives funding from NHMRC and Viertel Foundation. Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as “miracle” cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in ...
