The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller ...

T cell development is a tightly regulated process that transforms immature thymocytes into mature T cells with distinct functionalities. In the thymus, precursor cells undergo a series of selection ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how a humble single cell becomes an organism fascinates scientists across ...

Labs around the world are trying to turn cells into autobiographers, tracking their own development from embryos to adults. By Carl Zimmer Shortly after conception, a fertilized egg divides, becoming ...

The new method offers researchers a powerful new platform to investigate the molecular mechanisms that control oogenesis, the process by which egg cells develop, and lays important groundwork for ...

The Notch signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in determining cell fate, especially in the development and function of T cells. But mimicking this highly mechanical, contact-dependent pathway in the ...

A recent study reveals that age plays a significant role in the outcomes of intermittent fasting. Researchers discovered that chronic intermittent fasting disrupted the development of ...
