Germ cell development and oogenesis represent central processes in the reproduction of invertebrates, exhibiting remarkable diversity in cellular architecture, developmental mechanisms and ...

RIKEN biologists have untangled the process of hair follicle development by providing a dynamic four-dimensional atlas that explains the origins and development of diverse hair follicle cells, ...

Researchers from Japan and France have successfully reconstituted the development of mouse egg cells, known as oocytes, from embryonic stem cells entirely in vitro, without the need for ovarian ...

A recent study published in Nature Communications by researchers at Karolinska Institutet offers new insights into the development of ovarian follicles, which are vital for female fertility as ...

Researchers discovered that employing an air-liquid interface (ALI) culture method significantly enhances hair follicle formation within hiPSC-derived skin organoids compared to traditional ...
