Transplanted Embryonic Neurons may Rectify Metabolic Defects...

Immature neurons from healthy mouse embryos can repair damaged brain circuitry and partially normalize metabolism when transplanted into adult mice, a new study has said. This experiment was conducted in mice that had grown morbidly obese [...]

In the early life of an embryo, a monster lurks

Research based at Princeton University has revealed that newly fertilized cells only narrowly avoid degenerating into fatal chaos. At the same time, scientists have discovered that embryos have acquired a mechanism to contain thi [...]

Digital embryo gains wings

The scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany, who 'fathered' the Digital Embryo have now given it wings, creating the Fly Digital Embryo. In work published today in Nature Methods, the [...]

Trio Of Signals Converge To Induce Liver And Pancreas Cell D...

Understanding the molecular signals that guide early cells in the embryo to develop into different organs provides insight into ways that tissues regenerate and how stem cells can be used for new therapies. With regenerated cells, researche [...]

Scientists Bypass Need for Embryo to Get Stem Cells

Two teams of scientists reported yesterday that they had turned human skin cells into what appear to be embryonic stem cells without having to make or destroy an embryo — a feat that could quell the ethical debate troubling the field. [...]
