The eggs were placed in an artificial culture vessel made of transparent film, allowing for real-time observation of the ...

IN the midbrain of the chicken embryo a close relationship has been demonstrated between aerobic glycolysis and cell division 1, from which it can be inferred that growth is dependent on aerobic ...

The poultry supply chain has perfected the art of turning living creatures into nuggets with more chickens slaughtered in two ...

Recently, data generated from a study in chick embryos were extrapolated to suggest that pregnant women should not use this drug because of the risk of birth defects. We conducted a controlled ...

New biophysics research at the University of Miami adds to our knowledge about the origins of left-right asymmetry in the body.

The crucial events that control how we develop occur during the earliest stages of life in the embryo. In particular, our research is centred on how limbs develop and we mostly work on chicken embryos ...
