"These cells co-develop together, just like they would in an actual embryo, and establish that history of being neighbors," ...

Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists were able to create 'programmable' cellular models of embryos without ever experimenting ...

A new study in Brain Medicine explores how maternal immune activation (MIA) affects hippocampal neuron function in newborn ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...
