These stem cells require a microenvironment, such as the mature oocyte, to enter into differentiation ... new development as fertilized zygotes. In a sense, oocyte activation and embryo ...

Cell fate decisions are regulated by differentiation factors ... capacity for cellular plasticity is critical for normal embryonic development, but when recapitulated in the adult it can give ...

While it helps find your place on a map, it also captures the journey of cells during embryonic development, particularly in the nervous system ... which may mediate cell-to-cell communication to ...

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.

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 ...

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

Understanding of how cells control their identity, and how they assemble into tissues with normal organization and function during embryonic development provides the essential blueprint ... (2) the ...

At the 8-cell stage of mouse embryo development, the coordination between DNA unwinding and replication appears to improve. © ...

In one instance, scientists were able to induce the stem cells to begin to form a mouse body that stretched from head to tail, similar to regular embryonic development in the womb. In another ...
