"Parasitic twinning" could explain why a southern Queensland calf was born with two extra legs growing from its head. The ...

C.H. Waddington’s powerful image of embryonic stem cells specializing on a rolling landscape has captivated biologists since the 1950s. Experimental data is finally confirming, and complicating, his ...

Scientists have succeeded in reconstructing the family tree of cells in a developing mouse embryo. They recorded cells' relationships, starting when ...

DNA Typewriter and PEtracer reconstruct mouse cell lineages at high resolution, revealing when cell fates diverge during ...

Using genome editing to trace cell lineages, researchers capture the early history of the mouse embryo in unprecedented ...

Growing inside each of us is a cellular family tree. Every one of the 37 trillion cells in our body is generated from another ...

Three years ago, George Kassiotis and his team made an unexpected discovery: A specific way of producing a protein called calbindin was found to help cancer cells survive by preventing them from aging ...

Scientists have succeeded in reconstructing the family tree of cells in a developing mouse embryo. They recorded cells' ...

Gene-editing technologies enabled researchers to trace the cell-by-cell development of a single fertilised mouse egg to a ...

Some women are born with a uterus that differs in shape from the typical uterus. This is primarily caused by congenital uterine anomalies, which occur when tissues called the Müllerian ducts fail to ...

A new study from EMBL Rome shows how embryos precisely coordinate gene activity during early development. The research is ...
