The abortion debate – the language of life, choice and rights – severs women, and their pain, from history. I don’t want to forget my abortion and I don’t want to forget theirs ...

Research led by the University of Cambridge Loke Center for Trophoblast Research has shown that a genome-editing technique can be used to alter a single gene in human embryonic cells, enabling the ...

The genes and pathways behind the formation of the first human cell lineages during embryogenesis could have clinical implications for regenerative medicine, pregnancy loss, and infertility. 1. Egg ...

Because of their ability to simulate certain aspects of embryonic development, stem cell-based embryo models can be a ...

Biologists have long puzzled over how organs develop into their final shapes, and the nearly transparent bodies of young sea ...

A new genetic screening method allows researchers to efficiently modulate individual genes across entire tissues and provides ...

We have identified the gene that, when activated, initiates the developmental programme that results in cells forming a human ...

Base editing, the process used to make the changes, only nicks one strand of DNA, avoiding the major DNA errors that made ...

Researchers led by developmental biologist Kathy Niakan at the University of Cambridge have used base editing in human embryos to learn more about human embryonic development. By deactivating a gene ...
