Kolkata specialists in assisted reproduction shed light on the medical procedure and why more women are opting for it ...

MIT scientists used light to control how a starfish egg cell jiggles and moves during its earliest stage of development.

In this slide show showing somatic cell nuclear transfer, as it's also known, we explain how we clone egg cells to create embryonic stem cells in our lab at Children's Hospital Boston. Unless ...

Cells constantly shift and transform, triggering the complex choreography that shapes living organisms. Whether dividing into new cells or sculpting an embryo, these tiny movements rely on chemical ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it ...

Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, meaning that they have the ability to differentiate, or change, into many directions. Embryonic development Development starts with a fertilized egg cell, which ...

Scientists have long known that maturing egg cells, called oocytes, generate internal, twister-like fluid flows to transport nutrients, but how those flows arise in the first place has been a mystery.

If you're male, your body uses meiosis to create sperm cells; if you're female, it uses meiosis to create egg cells. Others cells in your body contain 46 chromosomes: 23 from your father and 23 ...

After 12 months of empty egg shelves in supermarkets, thousands of people across Australia are looking for ways around the shortages.

Scientists have developed a method to control starfish egg cell movements using light. By engineering a light-sensitive version of a key enzyme, they could manipulate cell shape and movement patterns.

Researchers use light stimuli to shape cells and develop a model that explains the mechanisms – with implications for synthetic biology.
