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 ...

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.

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 ...

A study reveals that guinea pigs can serve as a robust model for understanding human pre-implantation development. Their ...

Studying the early development of human embryos is challenging due to ethical constraints and technical difficulties.

Use precise geolocation data and actively scan device characteristics for identification. This is done to store and access ...

“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 ...

The guinea pig has long been used for studies in developmental biology and is very similar to humans in terms of general ...

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 ...
