As an embryo grows ... Barriga and colleagues found that cells of the neural crest are directed by internal electric fields during development, much like drivers follow the signals of a traffic ...

Stem-cell differentiation occurs during development of an organism to produce new specialised cells, and also in adults to replenish cells that are lost. Shen et al. report a method for ...

This dynamic period of early development sees embryonic cells displaying ... offers a novel way to influence cell fate, such as directing stem cell differentiation, which typically requires ...

Instead, they play essential roles in genetic regulation, cell differentiation, and embryonic development—critical processes for organism development and health. In embryonic stem cells ...

Researchers have discovered that a single molecule, Wnt3, coordinates a two-step process of cell polarity orientation that enables jellyfish embryos to develop around a central axis, shedding light on ...
