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

Neural crest cells have been thought to originate in the ectoderm, the outermost of the three germ layers formed in the earliest stages of embryonic development. But their capacity to form derivatives ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 118, No. 23 (June 8, 2021), pp. 1-10 (10 pages) Markers for the endoderm and mesoderm germ layers are commonly ...

The embryo-like model could help scientists test new drugs, create stem cells for transplants and research blood disorders ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge say they have produced human blood cells in the laboratory by using embryo-like ...

How do cells turn into organs? During embryonic development, three germ layers form, known as the endoderm, the mesoderm, and the ectoderm. These germ layers give rise to different parts of the ...

The team observed the emergence of the three-dimensional hematoids under a microscope in the lab. After just a few days these ...

News Sea Anemones Illuminate the Evolution of Embryo Development A study of a simple marine animal suggests that the common ancestor of cnidarians and bilaterians may have had three germ layers ...

Researchers offer a phylogenetic and ontogenetic overview of the primitive streak and its role in mediating amniote (vertebrate animals that develop on land) gastrulation, and discuss the implications ...

STANFORD, Calif. — More than 2,000 genetic regions involved in early human development have been identified by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. The regions, called enhancers, ...
