A research team led by Associate Professor Hirofumi Nishizono and graduate student Masaki Kato from the Research Support ...

A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in ...

In mammals, signalling between the placenta and the embryo is essential for successful development. Here, a quantitative, time-resolved model describes the coordinated formation of the mouse embryo ...

Using CRISPR-based technologies, the MoDeL team introduces precise genetic modifications in mice, enabling researchers to uncover how mammalian genes maintain health and contribute to disease.

A new study from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, UK reveals how ancient viral DNA once written off as "junk" plays a crucial role in the earliest moments of life. The research, ...

Research improves upon a popular experimental model of mammal development and in doing so, reveals more of the inner workings of a critical period during the formation of an embryo. Research from Ph.D ...

In the earliest hours after fertilization, an embryo takes its first steps toward becoming a living organism by shedding maternal control and activating its own genetic program. This critical process, ...

Infertility is a major healthcare concern. Understanding the molecular regulators governing fertilization, early embryonic ...
