University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development - including the ...

Congenital heart defects are the most common form of human birth defect, but we still don’t fully understand what causes them. Previous research had suggested that some heart defects could be ...

Researchers have identified the origin of cardiac cells using 3D images of a heart forming in real-time, inside a living mouse embryo. Researchers at UCL and the Francis Crick Institute have, for the ...

The findings shed light on the origins of congenital heart defects and could open new avenues in regenerative medicine and tissue bioengineering. A study published today in the journal Developmental ...
