Researchers have used zebrafish embryos to propagate the human norovirus, the predominant cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide.

A machine learning algorithm uses computational topology to study how cells in the embryo organize themselves into tissue-like architectures.

A computer model, quantitative fate mapping, looks back in the developmental timeline to trace the origin of cells in a fully grown organism.

The cetacean blowhole is a unique kind of nasal passage: It rises at an angle relative to the roof of the mouth and exits at the top of the head.

Many embryos blacklisted by a test for IVF fertilization often develop into healthy babies. "This is going to revolutionize how IVF moves forward."

A new method turns stem cells into millions of mature human cells in a shorter time frame. That could pave the way for a range of medical applications.

New research may debunk a long-held idea about the differentiation of embryonic stem cells that Alan Turing put forward 65 years ago.

A new system lets researchers study all of the major cell types of ectoderm, a single sheet of cells formed during embryo development.

Though two embryos may look alike, they can start out with surprisingly different instructions for development in their genomes.

New reseearch could upend ideas about how geography affects sex determination in painted turtles.
