Research on guinea pig embryos uncovers similarities to human embryogenesis, advancing understanding of preimplantation ...

Researchers reveal that the guinea pig pre-implantation embryo is very similar to the human embryo, spurring a better understanding of infertility and early human development.

The study shows that guinea pig embryos share many important characteristics with human embryos, which could open up new research opportunities in fertility and stem cell biology. The findings are ...

We also inhibited and activated signalling pathways to see how these genes could affect embryo development” she said. “When we compared the development of the guinea pig embryo to our previous work, ...

After years of trial and error, scientists have finally done something incredible: They have successfully grown human stem cells in a pig embryo. Why would anyone do this? Turns out, many ...

“We think that the developmental cues that exist in the pig will help to guide the human cells inside the porcine embryo. In the in vitro approach, there is a physical scaffold that exists, but the ...

A group led by scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies has taken the first big step toward making this a reality: today (January 26) in Cell, they report having grown the first ...

CRCHUM researcher Sophie Petropoulos and her team reveal for the first time that the guinea pig pre-implantation embryo is very similar to the human embryo, spurring a better understanding of ...
