Plant regeneration relies on a delicate balance between stem cell renewal and differentiation, yet the evolutionary origin ...

Unlike animals, plants generate most organs after embryogenesis through stem cell–driven meristems, enabling lifelong growth ...

Scientists in China and the Netherlands say they have discovered how a single plant cell can regenerate into an entirely new plant by flipping two genetic switches. They said the findings could help ...

Understanding how cells differentiate during early embryonic development is crucial for advancing regenerative medicine and developmental biology. Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) have been invaluable ...

NAD deficiency perturbs embryonic development resulting in multiple congenital malformations, collectively termed Congenital NAD Deficiency Disorder (CNDD). The authors report fundamental findings ...

miRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression and influence key developmental processes. In plants, these molecules are produced through a multistep biogenesis pathway involving the ...

Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, School of Medicine, University of Washington Embryonic development, also known as embryogenesis, is a cornerstone in understanding the origins of life ...

A new study now reveals that cilia in the organizer function as sensors for mechanical force exerted by flow to shape the left-right body plan of the developing embryo. Although the human body is ...

Maintaining the integrity of DNA, which encodes all of the instructions necessary for life, is essential for ensuring the survival of a species, especially when genetic information is transferred ...

Human embryogenesis is a complex process that occurs during the first eight weeks after fertilization. The stages of embryogenesis are described in more detail below. Image Credit: Andrii Vodolazhskyi ...

Accumulated evidence suggests that physical force plays an important role in various developmental processes of fertilized animal eggs. During embryogenesis, a variety of cell populations actively ...
