In the book "What We Inherit," experts unpack long-standing myths about genes and how those myths could shape public opinion around emerging embryo-selection technologies.

Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) and Imperial College London have shown for the first time that, before they can start developing into egg and sperm cells, the embryonic ...

Researchers used a high-energy particle accelerator in France to produce rare, high-resolution three-dimensional ...

A research team led by scientists at Queen Mary University of London and University College London (UCL) has found new clues ...

The Florida couple's lawsuit alleges that the baby girl born in December was not genetically their child, and they don't know ...

Week 3 of pregnancy is a critical stage when the embryo begins to grow rapidly. During this week, cells divide at an astonishing rate, laying the foundation for all future tissues and organs. This ...

Conditional genetics and single-embryo RNA-seq show that SETDB1 extinguishes the transient, retroelement-driven transcriptional programs of the totipotent two-cell state to facilitate the exit from ...

Rowan University biology professor Natasha Shylo is exploring left-right asymmetry development with a grant from the National Institutes of Health.

Multicellularity is one of the most profound phenomena in biology, and relies on the ability of a single cell to reorganize itself into a complex organism. It underpins the diversity in the animal ...

Scientists have gotten an unprecedented look at how the human embryo implants in a uterus. They did this by creating very primitive, womb-like environments in the lab. "This is really important work ...
