Self-organizing multicellular systems derived from mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells called gastruloids, which previously have been shown to mimic critical events of mammalian gastrulation, have been ...

Patterns that guide the development of feathers and other features can be set by mechanical forces in the embryo, not just by gradients of chemicals. One of the longest-standing questions in biology ...

A research team has recently made a significant discovery about the evolutionary age of different type of cells in a small animal called Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). By using single-cell ...
