A fertilized egg somehow manages to build skin, brain, and blood cells within days. But how? New tech called LoxCode is ...

Figure 1: Adhesion of germ-layer progenitors measured by single-cell force spectroscopy (SCFS). Figure 2: Cell-cortex tension of germ-layer progenitors measured by SCFS. Figure 4: Simulations of ...

Rice traditionally has its inedible outer hull removed. Brown rice gets its color from the bran and germ layer of rice, according to Healthline. White rice is the same grain with the hull, bran ...

Generation of organized germ layers. To dynamically monitor the status of pluripotency or mesodermal lineage differentiation of a single cell, we developed a mouse ES cell line (namely OGTR1) that ...

Exposure to alcohol during the first weeks of embryonic development changes gene activity and cellular metabolism. In ...

The second organizes cells into groups (i.e., germ layers). In most animals, including humans, there are three germ layers: the ectoderm (source of the skin, nervous system, eyes, etc.), the ...

This is not unexpected, as many cell types in the skin originate from the same location in the embryo as neurons: the ectodermal germ layer. The ectoderm is the outermost of the three layers of ...

If you have high blood pressure, you know it's important to watch your sodium intake, get regular physical activity and eat plenty of fruits and veggies to help manage your condit ...

This is not unexpected, as many cell types in the skin originate from the same location in the embryo as neurons: the ectodermal germ layer. The ectoderm is the outermost of the three layers of ...

Researchers could also differentiate human EBs into more mature cell types, for example cardiomyocytes, and use them to develop organoids, such as ones recapitulating cardiovascular tissue, but these ...
