Scientists have developed human stem cell models containing the notochord, a critical tissue that guides spine and nervous system formation during embryonic development.
Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute have generated human stem cell models which, for the first time, contain notochord—a tissue in the developing embryo that acts like a navigation system, ...
Due to its complexity, the notochord has been notably absent from previous lab-grown models of human trunk development ... Credit: Tiago Rito, Marie-Charlotte Domart In this research, the scientists ...
the complexity of the structure has meant it has been missing in previous lab-grown models of human trunk development. In this research, the scientists first analysed chicken embryos to understand ...
