Notching up a win: fresh tools for activating Notch
New tools for activating Notch signalling could transform T-cell therapy development, potentially reversing previous limitations in laboratory mimicry.
Which came first, chicken or egg? Scientists crack age-old debate
Eggs existed more than a billion years ago before the first animals, challenging the traditional chicken-or-egg debate.
The making of the gut - Harvard Gazette
Embryonic development involves both genetics and physics, critical for understanding the formation of gut structures.
Recent studies link gene-mediated geometries and physical forces in embryonic gut development.
Daily briefing: Amazing auroras are just a warm-up - more solar storms are coming
The upcoming solar maximum predicts more and larger solar storms, potentially disrupting satellite communications and power grids.
One year, three researchers, millions of cells: how a small team created the largest mouse-embryo atlas so far
Single-cell resolution tracking of 12.4 million mouse cells reveals development process.
Technique enables creation of embryonic mouse cell atlas at lower cost and smaller team size.
This Mysterious Bit of "Junk" DNA Could Play A Vital Role In Promoting Health
Scientists have discovered that junk DNA, previously thought to be useless, may play a crucial role in embryonic development.
A specific type of junk DNA called MERVL interacts with a gene called URI, which influences embryonic development in mice.
Push and pull: how to measure the forces that sculpt embryos
Physical forces like tension and elasticity influence embryonic development before gene expression, guiding spatial patterning and tissue differentiation.
