Researchers disrupted the Shh signaling pathway in chicken embryos nine days into development, which is when feathers begin to form. This led to the development of simple, proto-feather-like buds.

The eggs were placed in an artificial culture vessel made of transparent film, allowing for real-time observation of the chick embryo's development from laying to hatching. The study is published ...

The technology uses artificial intelligence (AI) imaging to identify chick sex and other attributes of developing embryos.

The good news is that a new technology can help end it. Called in ovo sexing, it determines the sex of the chick embryo long before it hatches, allowing the producers to get rid of the male eggs ...

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 ...

induced the expression of these genes in the intercalation region of the developing embryo. The authors therefore propose that, compared to anamniotes, the chick (and possibly all amniotes ...

“I was always interested in how cells decide their fate,” Zernicka-Goetz said. In the mouse developing embryo, she previously demonstrated a bias at the two-cell stage: one cell contributed more to ...
