Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

One of the key challenges of the modern genomics era is studying the thousands of genes in a single human cell at scale. To ...

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 ...

"These cells co-develop together, just like they would in an actual embryo, and establish that history of being neighbors," ...

A recently identified bacterial protein structure is contributing to the design of novel anticancer drug delivery systems.

UCSC scientists have used CRISPR to develop programmable embryoids that can be used to study early embryo development and ...

The results of this work reveal how an alternative splicing mechanism regulates an essential factor for neuronal identity.

A team of researchers from the Institute for Neurosciences, a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Miguel Hernández University (UMH) of Elche, in collaboration with ...

They use CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into "programmable" embryo-like structures, also known as embryoids, which can be used to study the role of certain genes in ...

The biotechnology sector is gaining new momentum with better market conditions, cutting-edge innovations, and growing investor attention.
