Reptilian embryos frequently develop under naturally low oxygen conditions, encountered in the buried nests of many species. Emerging research has demonstrated that hypoxic exposure during critical ...

Researchers at the UNC School of Medicine, UNC McAllister Heart Institute, and the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center characterized the expression of thousands of cardiac proteins during eight ...

Stem cells have been used to grow an embryonic-like “heart” that can pump fluid around a system of tiny channels on a laboratory slide. The mini-heart could allow researchers to explore how physical ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development - including the ...
