Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

Research shows how the curved shape of a zebrafish egg sets cell division timing, gene activation, and early cell fate ...

New research reveals how two genes in the uterus control embryo implantation during IVF. This discovery may explain repeated ...

Implantation, one of the most poorly understood phases of early human development, occurs in the depths of the womb, at a time when embryos are microscopic, fragile, and well out of reach. Until ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...
