This program normally shuts off
after embryonic development, but occasionally — for reasons not yet known — crestin and other genes in the program turn back on in certain cells.
Not exact matches
While the entity generated by deleting or disabling early
embryonic genes would produce only an unorganized collection of stem cells, it would do so
after a period of what appears to be relatively normal
development.
Comparison of the data revealed that use of certain starting points differs in two phases of
embryonic development in particular: Before and
after activation of the
embryonic genome.
This molecule pours out of
embryonic cranial cells
after infection with Zika virus, and could harm brain
development.
Because the RNAi wasn't used to dampen FOXP2 activity until 23 days
after the birds hatched, the new study shows that the gene has a role beyond
embryonic development, says neurogeneticist Simon Fisher of the University of Oxford in the U.K. «The gene, at least in songbirds, may have important active functions in [neural] circuits,» he says.
Mutations in these animals began to amass during
embryonic development, while normal animals don't begin to accumulate mutations until
after birth.
Very soon
after fertilization, the control of
embryonic development shifts from pre-existing maternal gene products to the products of genes encoded by the early embryo (or zygote).
The researchers used this live - imaging technique to study fly embryos at a key stage in their
development, approximately two hours
after the onset of
embryonic life where the genes undergo fast and furious transcription for about one hour.
In contrast to many other animals, human
embryonic development is a mysterious process, particularly in the first weeks
after conception.
The challenge takes on even more urgency with recent
developments, including a federal administration now more open to exploring the potential of stem cells, the recent FDA approval of a human trial involving
embryonic stem cells, as well as the reported case of a young boy who developed a brain tumor four years
after receiving a stem - cell treatment for a rare genetic disorder.
This current is a natural adjunct of
embryonic development, present in all wild - type hair cells but declining
after birth with emergence of the normal - polarity current.
