During early development the precursors to all these more specialized stem cells, sometimes ... factors that drive tissue differentiation from the earliest embryonic stage forward.

How is it that your body with all of its specialized organs developed from a single cell? Scientists are exploring how gene expression patterns and their timing regulate cell differentiation.

Presently, the exact role of methylation in gene expression is unknown, but it appears that proper DNA methylation is essential for cell differentiation and embryonic development. Moreover ...

While it helps find your place on a map, it also captures the journey of cells during embryonic development, particularly in the ... to-cell communication to establish spatial patterning and ...

This process is called cell differentiation. A small bundle of cells made from embryonic stem cells is called an embryo. A documentary on the discussion around pioneering work into stem cells.

Researchers have created a way to guide and control the development of stem cells into specific tissues and organs, opening ...

A recent study delves into the pivotal role of Setd2, a histone methyltransferase enzyme, in embryonic development within mice.

Investigators from Cedars-Sinai and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have identified a new way to deliver ...

Later, animals—multicellular organisms—evolved, developing from a single egg cell to form complex beings. This embryonic ...

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs or ES cells) are cells from the early embryonic development, from which all cells and organs of an individual descend. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, meaning that ...
