Scientists funded in part by the National Institutes of Health have generated a mouse embryo model, or embryoid, that develops beyond neurulation—formation of the neural tube, which gives rise to the ...

Researchers are closer to understanding the earliest beginnings of the circulatory system during embryonic development—a discovery that could lead to ways to repair damage in the human body after ...

Blood stem cell donors are in chronic short supply, posing problems for patients whose blood stem cells have been depleted by chemotherapy or who have diseases like aplastic anemia. Donor cells used ...

Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what you look like: the pigments of your eyes, of your skin, and the bone ...

Under the microscope, MSK scientists studied how cells in a mouse embryo (green) move out and break away from their original tissue by contracting their surfaces (red). Studying this process, known as ...
