"Gastrulation is the key step that leads to the human body plan," says A/Prof. Kilian. "It is the start of the process where a simple sheet of cells transforms to make up all the tissues of the ...

Gastrulation is the process during which the early sphere-like embryo of most animals is dramatically re-organised by the inward migration of cells on the outside of the embryo. During gastrulation, ...

In their publication in Science, Professor Guojun Sheng (Kumamoto University, Japan), Professor Alfonso Martinez Arias (Universidad Pompeu Fabra, Spain) and Professor Ann Sutherland (University of ...

Gastrulation is a process common to nearly all metazoan organisms during which an embryo with distinct tissue layers develops out of a seemingly unstructured assembly of cells referred to as 'blastula ...

Materials scientists at UNSW Sydney have shown that human pluripotent stem cells in a lab can initiate a process resembling the gastrulation phase – where cells begin differentiating into new cell ...

A collaboration of researchers from Japan, Spain and the U.S. offers a phylogenetic and ontogenetic overview of the primitive streak and its role in mediating amniote (vertebrate animals that develop ...

A serendipitous discovery in the lab has the potential to revolutionize embryo models and targeted drug therapies. Materials scientists at UNSW Sydney have shown that human pluripotent stem cells in a ...
