Biotech company Colossal says it has developed an artificial eggshell system that can support chick development after egg contents are transferred into a custom container, a tool that could aid both de-extinction work иe

A Science Advances study reports that mosses and Arabidopsis thaliana rely on similar cellular dynamics during leaf formation despite deep evolutionary separation.

Researchers used tiny retinas grown in the lab to show how subtle changes in a growth-controlling protein may drive a rare condition that causes serious eye defects from birth.

Researchers found that altering one DNA base in female mouse embryos was enough to trigger development of male reproductive organs, highlighting the outsized effects tiny genomic changes can have during development.

Researchers at Bar-Ilan University report that changing a single DNA letter can completely alter sex development in mice, underscoring how small genetic changes can have outsized biological effects.

A study published in Cell Research reports a checkpoint that helps control the identity of multiple stem cell types across developmental stages, pointing to a potentially unifying principle in stem cell biology.
