“I was always interested in how cells decide their fate,” Zernicka-Goetz said. In the mouse developing embryo, she previously demonstrated a bias at the two-cell stage: one cell contributed more to ...

This then divides by mitosis to form two identical cells ... The cells on the inside layer of this very early embryo can make all of the cell types needed in your body. They're called stem ...

The first division results in two cells (left image), the next makes four cells, and so on. This structure is now termed an embryo. Three and a half days after division begins (in mouse embryos ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

ID GSE266025. The asymmetric expression of HSPA2 in blastomeres governs the first embryonic cell-fate decision. ID PXD052193. differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) at the blastocyst stage in the ...
