The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller ...

By editing thousands of genes in mouse stem cells, the scientists identified a list of over 300 that are crucial for neural differentiation.

The study revealed the small-molecule signaling system for mammalian cell-cell communication that combines super-sensitivity with a chassis-friendly, low-burden design, and demonstrated the system's ...

The new method offers researchers a powerful new platform to investigate the molecular mechanisms that control oogenesis, the process by which egg cells develop, and lays important groundwork for ...

The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how a humble single cell becomes an organism fascinates scientists across ...

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene ...

Stripe patterns are commonly seen in nature—for instance, birds and fish move in coordinated flocks and schools, fingerprints ...

Scientists at the University of Nottingham have discovered how specific surface patterns on plastics used for medical devices can drastically reduce the ability of bacteria to attach and multiply, ...
