Hilaire was the first scientist to publish the observation that some bird embryos exhibited evidence ... the genes involved in odontogenesis (tooth development) are indeed retained in chickens.

However, gastrulation, the period beyond this cutoff, represents when the embryo begins to form the eventual body plan, making it an interesting stage to understand early organogenesis. “We’ve just ...

The findings help elucidate what happens during the earliest periods in development. “I was always interested in how cells decide their fate,” Zernicka-Goetz said. In the mouse developing embryo, she ...

Embryology is the discipline concerned with the study of embryogenesis, the development of the embryo from a fertilised egg cell. Findings in embryology have helped in the understanding of ...

As they grow, the differences that will distinguish the embryos as adults become more and more apparent. The study of this development can yield insights into the process of evolution.

Emerging findings suggest that viral DNA may play an important part in how embryos form, right after fertilization.

And now, scientists have shown that transposable elements also play crucial roles in the development of human embryos. The findings have been reported in Cell. There are transposable elements in the ...

Researchers Australia said that they have for the first time successfully produced the first kangaroo embryos through IVF. It ...

DNA from ancient viruses that form a part of the human genome may be contributing in the early development of an embryo in ...

At the earliest stages of life ... implantation—begins to form. Its development is tightly controlled by genetic and epigenetic programs. Stem cell-based embryo models, such as blastoids ...
