Scientists found that fruit fly embryos can develop through multiple genetic paths, not just one. This challenges traditional ideas.

Evolution might allow for multiple optimal solutions, depending on the constraints and conditions under which an organism ...

How cells utilize electric fields to guide their migration during embryonic development. As an embryo develops, cells ...

Genomic interventions, particularly in the process of embryonic development, can result in unexpected outcomes. For example, early use of genetic testing of embryos to screen for chromosomal ...

Is there only one optimal configuration an organism can reach during evolution? Is there a single formula that describes the trajectory towards the optimum? And can we 'derive' it in a purely ...

This study provides a valuable new resource to investigate the molecular basis of the particular features characterizing the pipefish embryo. The authors found both unique and shared gene expression ...

A new study from EMBL Barcelona researchers shows that metabolic activities selectively modulate the segmentation clock, ...

They observed a clear correlation between less OGT activity and more severe effects on embryonic development. Their results showed that OGT played an important catalytic role, and it wasn't just ...

Whether it is pods of whales or collectives of tiny cells, life’s building blocks have been selected to self-organize close ...

A study of men with a family history of prostate cancer has discovered an inherited form of prostate cancer. The inherited ...

Ancient viruses are embedded everywhere in the human genome. It's thought that about 8% of the human genome... | Genetics And Genomics ...

Using cutting-edge stem cell technology, a team of scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) recently created a ...
