  • A thorough appreciation of the cellular, molecular and tissue changes which precede the birth of an animal is a fundamental requirement for understanding norm. (web.app)
  • Professor Zernicka-Goetz and colleagues found a remarkable degree of communication between the two types of stem cell: in a sense, the cells are telling each other where in the embryo to place themselves. (cam.ac.uk)
  • To determine which cells are expressing specific cellular markers and how these cells are organized relative to each other requires volumetric imaging of the pre-implantation embryos by confocal microscopy. (zeiss.com)
  • These cells possess the remarkable ability to transform into different cell types, and in this case, they were programmed to simulate the characteristics of early-stage embryonic cells. (iasgyan.in)
  • In addition to their ability to supply cells at the turnover rate of their respective tissues, they can be stimulated to repair injured tissue caused by liver damage, skin abrasions and blood loss. (thefutureofthings.com)

  • Low-quality embryos, on the other cells, thereby maintaining a relatively low basal hand, frequently display morphological level [16-18]. (who.int)
  • Driesch showed that the cells of an early embryo, when separated, could each continue to develop into normal larval forms. (asu.edu)
  • The embryonic cells progressively divide and specialize, gradually completing their own instruction manual, perfecting it, to provide this embryo with an organized, programmed, evolutionary and continuous structure, on its way to birth, adulthood and death. (bioethicsobservatory.org)
  • If biotech scientists have the ability to manipulate the genes of an embryo or gamete cell for non-therapeutic purposes, it could be argued that these genetically modified cells are in fact patentable "inventions," given that the material was not, in that particular sequence, naturally occurring.
