The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.

We studied the roles of β-catenin in somitogenesis using immunostaining and antisense experiments in rat embryos. High levels of β-catenin appeared transiently in the developing rat somites. Initially ...

Researchers led by Kyoto University have reconstituted the human 'segmentation clock' -- a key focus of embryonic development research -- using induced pluripotent stem cells, iPSCs. From the first ...

Japan -- Researchers led by Kyoto University have reconstituted the human 'segmentation clock' -- a key focus of embryonic development research -- using induced pluripotent stem cells, iPSCs. From the ...

Researchers used iPS cells to reconstructed the human 'segmentation clock,' a key point in early embryonic development that determines how the body gets segmented. The 'segmentation clock' is a ...
