Diagnostic imaging and genetic screens help clinicians catch congenital fetal diseases in utero, but models for studying organ development and disease progression are limited. Over the last decade, ...

Scientists at the Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI) in Zagreb, Croatia, have discovered that the protein CENP-E, long believed ...

To study pattern formation, researchers used a method called the landscape-flux framework — which can be extended to other ...

The new technique lets researchers “access the fetus without touching the fetus” and could help spot certain conditions earlier. As a fetus grows in the womb, it sheds cells into the amniotic fluid ...

This is the longest-lived set of developing kidney organoids derived from tissue stem cells The kidney developed over a half a year, enabling real-time observation, gene isolation for birth defects ...

Genomic analyses of mother–father–fetus trios after early pregnancy loss uncover contributions from chromosomal abnormalities and subtle genetic variants. Arnadottir et al. set out to fill this ...

For the first time, researchers from both Sheba Medical Center and Tel Aviv University have grown human kidney organoids (a synthetic 3D organ culture) from tissue stem cells in the laboratory, ...
