New atlas depicts first two months of human development in 3-D

BigField GEG Tech's insight:

A team of researchers at the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam, the Netherlands has created an updated interactive 3-D atlas that depicts the various stages of human development from conception to two months. In their paper published in the journal Science, the researchers outline the reasons for medical texts being outdated, how they got around the problem, the features of the new atlas and what it might mean for future medical research efforts.

Single-Cell RNA-Seq Reveals Lineage and X Chromosome Dynamics in Human Preimplantation Embryos

http://www.cell.com/cell/abstract/S0092-8674(16)30

BigField GEG Tech's insight:

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and the Ludwig Cancer Research in Stockholm, Sweden have conducted a detailed molecular analysis of the embryo's first week of development. Their results show that there are considerable differences in embryonic development between humans and mice, which is the most common organism of study in this field.

The authors envision broad utility of this transcriptional atlas in future studies on human development as well as in stem cell research.

â–¶ Researchers reconstruct early stages of embryo development

BigField GEG Tech's insight:

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have managed to reconstruct the early stage of mammalian development using embryonic stem cells, showing that a critical mass of cells – not too few, but not too many – is needed for the cells to being self-organising into the correct structure for an embryo to form.

Evolutionary Ecology of Organs: A Missing Link in Cancer Development?

Evolutionary Ecology of Organs: A Missing Link in Cancer Development? | Bioscience News - GEG Tech top picks | Scoop.it
BigField GEG Tech's insight:

There is striking variation in the incidence of cancer in human organs. Malignant In this opinion article, the authors propose also considering organs as distinct but connected ecosystems whose different vulnerabilities to malignant transformation may be partially explained by how essential each organ is for survival through the age of reproduction.
