There was a time when the idea of growing organs in the lab was the stuff of science fiction. Today, stem cell biology and tissue engineering are turning fiction into reality with the advent of ...

Live imaging techniques have given Spanish researchers deeper insight into the development of the embryonic heart in mice. Their live analysis reveals the coordination that occurs between cardiac ...

Heart development: Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research have discovered important mechanisms for regulating embryonic heart development. The proteins RBPMS and RBPMS2 ...

Gene-free DNA segments play an important role in the development of the embryo and heart in mice and humans. A study published in "Nature Communications" by the University of Bern (Unibe) shows the ...

Researchers have developed a new software tool that provides unprecedented capabilities to see inside 3D images. Its interactive, dynamic cutaway views allowed them to analyze never-before-seen ...

Researchers have created model embryos from mouse stem cells that form a brain, a beating heart and the foundations of all the other organs of the body. The development could help researchers ...

Researchers have created 'synthetic' embryos from mouse stem cells that have beating hearts as well as the foundations of brains and all other organs. The models are intended to help the scientists at ...

Long before human bone marrow takes over the task of producing blood, discrete waves of blood cell production occur in the developing embryo. Miriana Dardano, a postdoctoral researcher in Zweigerdt’s ...

A mouse embryo developed from stems cells has a beating heart and is starting to develop muscles, a gut and nervous system while it grows inside a lab at the University of Virginia. Scientists sparked ...
