A recent study delves into the pivotal role of Setd2, a histone methyltransferase enzyme, in embryonic development within mice. Setd2 is instrumental in the trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 36 ...

Researchers have gained new insights into the mechanism behind the spatial organization of DNA within the cells of early embryos. When an embryo is first formed after fertilization, each cell has the ...

Despite being an essential developmental process, the understanding of human embryonic genome activation is limited, owing to the lack of in vitro cell models and ethical concerns. To advance ...

Pancreas development in pigs resembles humans much more closely than does the established mouse model. An international team ...

Researchers are studying development of human pre-implantation embryos in an effort to improve success of embryo growth and development.

Descriptions of the embryo go back at least to the time of Aristotle, but it has only been since the late 19 th century and early 20 th century that advances in experimental approaches allowed ...

An epigenetic factor that is essential for producing mature egg cells in mice has been identified by RIKEN researchers for ...
