fused to a membrane trafficking sequence into one of the two cells of the zygote. Thus, they could determine the contribution of each cell to the development of two early structures: the trophectoderm ...

A research team at Kumamoto University has developed a deep learning-based method for analyzing the cytoskeleton—the structural framework inside cells—more accurately and efficiently than ever before.

After a sperm fertilizes an egg, the totipotent cell divides into a zygote. As division continues, some cells divide into the growing mass, distinguishing cells that form the embryo (epiblast) from ...

a | The co-visualization of mitochondria and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in a budding yeast zygote. Cells are visualized by differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy (left panel).

Relying on CRISPR, they then took both the stem cell and zygote approach to rewriting the mouse’s stem cell to express those traits. The next steps involved more than a little hit and miss.

The zygote inherits two fully active X chromosomes and begins re-inactivation of the paternal X chromosome (XP) at the 4- to 8-cell stage. In the trophectoderm (extra-embryonic cells, shown in ...

These two haploid cells produce a diploid zygote. Hormonal control of reproduction Hormones control puberty, the menstrual cycle, and sperm production and play a crucial role in in the control of ...

During fertilisation the haploid nucleus of a sperm cell and the haploid nucleus of an egg cell fuse together to form a diploid zygote.
