Researchers developed a method that visualizes gene activity across an entire embryo with high spatial detail. The resulting ...

Under the microscope, MSK scientists studied how cells in a mouse embryo (green) move out and break away from their original tissue by contracting their surfaces (red). Studying this process, known as ...

How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development? A new imaging method makes it possible to visualize the ...

German scientists have found that the breakdown of sugar in the body affects not only energy production, but also directly ...

Research from Ph.D. candidate Bohan Chen in the lab of Idse Heemskerk of the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of Michigan Medical School and their colleagues improves ...

Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists were able to create 'programmable' cellular models of embryos without ever experimenting ...

Cancer’s ability to spread throughout the body — a process known as metastasis — is responsible for the vast majority of cancer deaths. And a key feature of metastasis is that the cancer cells move, ...
