Embryonic reproductive cells reveal striking genomic architecture before development
Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) and Imperial College London have shown for the first time that, before they can start developing into egg and sperm cells, the embryonic ...
The day when human sperm and eggs can be grown in the laboratory has inched a step closer, with the discovery of a way to recreate a crucial developmental step in a dish 1. “Epigenetic reprogramming ...
In our cells, our DNA carries chemical or 'epigenetic' marks that decide how genes will be used in different tissues. Yet in the group of specialised ...
