Research shows how the curved shape of a zebrafish egg sets cell division timing, gene activation, and early cell fate specification.

Neurons grown from stem cells in the lab form an interconnected network. In this study, researchers used CRISPR to switch off genes in stem cells and then followed how successfully the cells developed ...

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 ...
