Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...

For the first time, researchers have used a genome editing technique called base editing to identify a master gene that is essential for human embryo development. Marking the first application of base ...

A Cambridge University research team has used a precise gene-editing technique — applied for the first time to study a developmental gene in donated human embryos — to confirm that a single gene ...
