A type of stem cell found in early embryos, which is capable of developing into all (totipotent) or a wide range of (pluripotent) different body tissues.
Human cells behaving like those at a crucial embryological milestone have been identified, enabling insights into early development...
Reprogrammed mouse stem cells self-organise into embryo-like structures, providing a new tool for embryology research...
Scientists have created a 'blastoid' model of the human embryo at early-stages that can successfully attach to uterine cells in vitro, mimicking the implantation of an embryo in the mother's uterus...
Insight into genetic control of human embryonic stem cells' fate has offered new insight into cancer genetics and could inform future work in regenerative medicine...
Stem cells from rhesus macaque monkeys have been used to make sperm in a dish...
Researchers have discovered the earliest known effect of the Huntingtin gene variant which causes Huntington's disease...
Scientists have described a method to create cartilage from human embryonic stem cells...
Researchers in Japan have successfully demonstrated the development of functional sperm cells that developed into fertile offspring from pluripotent embryonic stem cells, in mice...
An in vitro gametogenesis (IVG) breakthrough has been achieved as mouse stem cells have been used to create egg cells that have successfully developed into live mice when used in IVF...
Germline cells seem to reset their biological clocks around the time of embryo implantation, not when generating gametes, as previously thought...
