Scientists Discover How Embryos Develop Different Tail Types In a new study, scientists have uncovered the molecular mechanism responsible for the development of different tail types in embryos. New Method to Track Embryo Development in Real Time Researchers have developed a new method to track embryo development in real time that could revolutionize our understanding of how embryos form and grow. How Embryonic Cells Know When to Divide Researchers have discovered how embryonic cells know when to divide, providing an answer to a long-standing mystery about early embryo development.
While some people may first associate daddy longlegs with, well, their long legs, researchers Guilherme Gainett and Prashant Sharma have been especially focused on the arachnids' eyes. In their paper published last week in the journal Current Biology, the researchers found that a living species of daddy longlegs has two additional sets of underdeveloped eyes as embryos, implying that the species diversified earlier in the evolutionary tree than scientists believed.
Scientists very rarely get access to most sharks, the development of their young or the nursery grounds where they grow. So seeing a hammerhead shark (Sphyrna tiburo) embryo, halfway through its five-month development, is very unusual.
The Alabama Supreme Court ruled, Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2024, that frozen embryos can be considered children under state law. The decision was issued based on a wrongful death case by three couples whose frozen embryos were destroyed in an accident at a fertility clinic.
The beginning of life is shrouded in mystery. While the intricate dynamics of mitosis is well-studied in the so-called somatic cells – the cells that have a specialized function, like skin and muscle cells – they remain elusive in the first cells of our bodies, the embryonic cells.
