Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has emerged as a pivotal non‐invasive imaging modality in the study of embryonic development. By harnessing light to capture high-resolution, three‐dimensional ...

Only two weeks after fertilization, the first sign of the formation of the three axes of the human body (head/tail, ventral/dorsal, and right/left) begins to appear. At this stage, known as ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

Researchers have developed a method for culturing fertilized chick eggs without their shells. The eggs were placed in an artificial culture vessel made of transparent film, allowing for real-time ...

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.
