3D cell culture provides researchers with an unprecedented view of human tissue and organ development, reliably mimicking the intricacy and functionality at cellular and tissue levels. To better ...

Scientists set a new record for growing primate embryos outside the womb, as reported in the May issue of the journal Cell. For the first time, monkey embryos were cultivated in a lab for 25 days post ...

Thanks to a new technology called Moscot ("Multi-Omics Single-Cell Optimal Transport"), researchers can now observe millions of cells simultaneously as they develop into a new organ-for example, a ...

A lot happens in the first month of human embryo development as a single cell morphs into multitudes. Yet despite its significance, this period is basically a “black box” to researchers, says stem ...

Aerobic glycolysis, the process by which cells transform glucose into lactate, is key for eye development in mammals, according to a new study. Aerobic glycolysis, the process by which cells transform ...

Organoids are three-dimensional, miniaturized, and simplified versions of organs produced in vitro from stem cells or organ-specific progenitor cells. They recapitulate key structural and functional ...
