The findings help elucidate what happens during the earliest periods in development. “I was always interested in how cells decide their fate,” Zernicka-Goetz said. In the mouse developing embryo, she ...

Emerging findings suggest that viral DNA may play an important part in how embryos form, right after fertilization.

They are hoping for healthy embryos, and some can’t imagine having any left over—or how they might feel about them. For a lot of people, embryos are not just balls of cells. They hold the ...
