This Research Topic is part of the Somatic Embryogenesis: 60 Years of Research Applied to Plant Cloning to Unravel Plant Totipotency series: Somatic Embryogenesis: 60 Years of Research Applied to ...

Because of their ability to simulate certain aspects of embryonic development, stem cell-based embryo models can be a ...

During embryonic development, several signaling pathways are activated in a very well-orchestrated manner. This highly controlled activation is important to allow the formation of a multicellular ...

The genes and pathways behind the formation of the first human cell lineages during embryogenesis could have clinical implications for regenerative medicine, pregnancy loss, and infertility. 1. Egg ...

Scientists have, for the first time, used an extremely precise genome editing technique called base editing to study gene function in human embryos. Using the technique, researchers including those at ...

More than a century ago, embryologist Hilde Mangold conducted a strange experiment that transformed biology. As a PhD student in the 1920s, she moved a lump of cells from embryos of one newt species ...

In order for vertebrate embryos to develop their body axes, they require what is known as an embryonic signaling center. This group of cells provides the instructions that determine where up and down, ...
