A rare way cells survive extreme stress has just been decoded, with implications reaching far beyond the animal kingdom.

The process behind embryonic diapause could explain how cancer cells can survive long periods of metabolic stress.

Every human life begins as a cluster of cells that soon face critical decisions. Within weeks, those cells must choose their fates – some forming the nervous system, others the gut, heart, or muscle.

Although embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have been successfully derived from mice and rats, efforts to establish chimeric and germline-competent ESC lines in species beyond rodents have been unsuccessful.

Embryonic development in honeybees is a critical stage that shapes the formation of organs and structures in adult bees. Although there has been substantial progress in transcriptome studies on ...

Despite its vector importance little attention is given to Aedes aegypti embryonic development. In this study, temperature influence on time course of Ae. aegypti larvae hatching and egg viability ...
