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 ...

This video shows a 3D confocal reconstruction of an organoid surface, showing blood vessels in green and cardiomyocytes in red. Blue is cell nuclei. An advanced human heart organoid system can be used ...

Congenital heart defects are the most common form of human birth defect, but we still don’t fully understand what causes them. Previous research had suggested that some heart defects could be ...

Aug. 11 (UPI) --A team of Spanish researchers announced Friday they have for the first time recorded video of a human embryo implanting itself in a simulated uterine wall, revealing never-before-seen ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development - including the ...

A new open-source software tool helps see the inside of 3D and 4D images, providing insight into embryonic mouse heart development. 3D and 4D imaging, which is 3D imaging combined with time to show ...

The role of Fibroblast Growth Factor 8 (FGF8) in embryonic development and organ formation is gaining increased recognition as scientists uncover its wide-ranging influence. FGF8, a powerful signaling ...

A project at Stevens Institute of Technology has developed a software tool able to reveal previously unseen time-dependent details of tissues imaged with OCT. Reported in Biomedical Optics Express, ...

An advanced human heart organoid system can be used to model embryonic heart development under pregestational diabetes-like conditions, researchers report. The organoids recapitulate hallmarks of ...
