UCSC scientists have used CRISPR to develop programmable embryoids that can be used to study early embryo development and improve fertility.

These cuts aren’t just about UCSC; they’re about Santa Cruz,” writes Needhi Bhalla, Susan Carpenter and Carol Greider in a Guest Commentary. “This crucial NIH support fuels our ...

If Andrea Ghez had listened to her critics, one of the galaxy’s greatest mysteries might yet remain unsolved. The UCLA astronomer won the 2020 Nobel Prize in physics for proving the existence of a ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...
