A new study takes a tour of the history of research into human embryology and development to show the "cycles of attention" that led to major scientific breakthroughs. Analyzing the past sheds light ...

Descriptions of the embryo go back at least to the time of Aristotle, but it has only been since the late 19 th century and early 20 th century that advances in experimental approaches allowed ...

Developmental biology seeks to document the path from embryo to organism, where cell-to-cell interactions and the spatial organization of tissues influence developmental mechanisms. Consequently, ...

The dialogue findings provide an initial snapshot of public opinion on human embryo research, and that of stem cell embryo models, and aim to inform future public consultation, policy development and ...

A collection of over forty new studies about the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) has now been published in Nature. This work encompasses the efforts of more than 3,600 HCA members from over one hundred ...

Silvia Santos, Group Leader of the Quantitative Stem Cell Biology Laboratory at the Crick and senior author, said: "Early human development is still a black box due to ethical and technical ...
