Can a single protein-encoding gene determine whether a vertebrate embryo develops normally? Yes, according to Osaka Metropolitan University researchers, who found that suppression of Pcdh8 is ...
Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute have generated human stem cell models 1 which, for the first time, contain notochord – a tissue in the developing embryo that acts like a navigation system, ...
