Developmental biologist Dr. Alexandra Joyner reflects on her career and talks about the new passions she looks forward to pursuing in retirement.

A divorced Michigan couple disagreed about what to do with their last frozen embryo: she wants another child and he doesn't.

“Reduced telomere length can be caused by embryonic cellular damage,” said study co-lead Dr. Yasmyn Winstanley. The ...

They use CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into "programmable" embryo-like structures, also known as embryoids, which can be used to study the role of certain genes in ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — ...

UCSC scientists have used CRISPR to develop programmable embryoids that can be used to study early embryo development and ...

"These cells co-develop together, just like they would in an actual embryo, and establish that history of being neighbors," ...

Feathers are among the most complex cutaneous appendages in the animal kingdom. While their evolutionary origin has been ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...
