For the first time, stem cells typically considered restricted to forming body tissues spontaneously formed a yolk-sac-like structure in a model of the human embryo. Stem cell models of human embryos ...

Researchers have gained new insights into the mechanism behind the spatial organization of DNA within the cells of early embryos. When an embryo is first formed after fertilization, each cell has the ...

During embryonic stem cell (ESC) development, pluripotent stem cells transition from a naïve state into a primed state before they take their first steps toward a lineage commitment. Jacob Hanna, a ...

Eating large amounts of ultra-processed food (UPF) is linked not only to reduced fertility in men, but also to slower growth in early embryos, and smaller yolk sacs, which are essential for early ...

In a longitudinal study published in Scientific Reports, researchers investigate the effect of maternal physical activity on the size and growth of the yolk sac during early pregnancy. To this end, ...

Microscopy image of a PGA at day 8 showing the early tissues supporting the embryo, including the amniotic sac and the yolk sac-like structures, surrounded by (extra-embryonic) mesoderm tissue.
