Mentor: Michael L Robinson, Ph.D. This project explores the role of FOXE3 in eye development, focusing on its potential influence on cell fate decisions. Key questions include: What is the role of ...

Scientists have created synthetic blobs that resemble a 14-day-old human embryo for the first time, meaning they can study embryo development beyond a particularly tricky period of pregnancy.

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 ...

With embryolike constructs built entirely from stem cells, researchers can revolutionize our understanding of development. But how close to an embryo is too close? In April, researchers in China ...
