Although this stem cell model of a notochord is a simple structure, it could help researchers study spine-related birth ...

This volume brings together a range of contemporary studies of bone growth and development to highlight how cross-disciplinary research and new methods can enhance our anthropological understanding of ...

These characteristics can be used to assess bone formation: after taking oral tetracycline on two occasions (double labeling), an iliac-crest biopsy is obtained. The rate of bone growth equals the ...

Scientists have generated human stem cell models which contain notochord -- a tissue in the developing embryo that acts like a navigation system, directing cells where to build the spine and nervous ...

But there is now a rapidly developing field mimicking natural embryo development. This research, published in the journal Nature, is described by the Israeli team as the first "complete" embryo ...

We have all journeyed from a single fertilised egg to a human being - built from myriad different tissues ranging from bone to those ... is a superstar in early embryo development.
