This approach might shift our view of biological processes that once seemed locked into a narrow ideal. Researchers have spent decades mapping the genetic signals that guide a Drosophila embryo, which ...

A combination of methods, including a new method for tagging genes, demonstrates that the chemosensory co-receptors of Drosophila melanogaster (Orco, IR8a, IR25a, IR76b) are expressed widely and ...

Their mathematical model forecasts the ideal body plan of a fruit fly's early embryo, suggesting that ... The fruit fly Drosophila, as biologists refer to it, is a widely studied organism ...

Consequently, the Drosophila DV axis is determined. In amphibian embryos, the establishment of the DV axis relies on the redistribution of localized maternal determinants in yolk cells during embryo ...

Australian scientists created the first kangaroo embryo via IVF, a breakthrough in species conservation. Using eastern grey kangaroo specimens, the technique involved injecting a single sperm cell ...

Scientists in Australia have successfully produced the world’s first kangaroo embryo through in vitro fertilization, or IVF, a feat they hailed as a “ground-breaking achievement” that could ...

It’s not always easy to choose whether to store, donate or discard extra IVF embryos. This article first appeared in The Checkup, MIT Technology Review’s weekly biotech newsletter.

For the first time, scientists have been able to produce kangaroo embryos through in-vitro fertilization (IVF), an important milestone in being able to replicate this across hundreds of species of ...

Frozen embryos are filling storage banks around the world. It's a struggle to know what to do with them. Lisa Holligan already had two children when she decided to try for another baby.
