Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

Homologous feeder culture system can efficiently promote the proliferation of embryonic germ (EG) cells or embryonic stem (ES) cells while avoiding contamination by exogenous proteins and pathogens.

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

Because the science is hard and the politics mean, progress in understanding human pluripotent cells has been slow. Biologists first trumpeted their discoveries of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) ...

A new discovery by researchers challenges our current understanding of gastrulation, the most important stage of early embryonic development. When the zygote, or the fertilized egg, starts to develop, ...
