Dozens of labs around the world are striving to grow models of human embryos to study development, fertility and therapies.

Studying human embryonic development is complicated for several reasons. Models derived from pluripotent stem cells ...

Scientists at the IMB have identified 5-formylcytosine (5fC) as an activating epigenetic mark that initiates gene expression ...

Researchers have gained new insights into the mechanism behind the spatial organization of DNA within the cells of early embryos. When an embryo is first formed after fertilization, each cell has the ...

The team of Professor Christof Niehrs at the Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB) in Mainz, Germany, has discovered that a ...

Researchers from the Kind Group have gained new insights into the mechanism behind the spatial organization of DNA within the ...

To understand embryo development better, the researchers wanted to know how the epigenome regulates ... organization that ...

Researchers led by the Institute of Molecular Biology have found that 5-formylcytosine (5fC), a DNA alteration, acts as an ...

A new discovery by researchers at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics (BDR) in Japan upends decades of assumptions regarding DNA replication.

Neuroscience research historically overlooked female subjects. Today, researchers actively rebalance the scales.

Under his microscope, Jun Wu could see several tiny spheres, each less than 1 millimetre wide. They looked just like human embryos: a dark cluster of cells surrounded by a cavity, and then another ...
