This is the Main Page of the website, clicking the top lefthand icon or the menu item will always bring you to here.

There are several different ways to find what you are looking for: click the major topic on the large left hand image, the Site Map also links to major topic sections, the Category option will show related materials, or simply use the search box.

Designed to update the original and popular UNSW Embryology website. You should find this new site easier to navigate and search. I am always happy to receive feedback on your learning experience.

2012 Nobel Prize for Stem Cells

‎‎Stem Cell Signaling

Stem Cells

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2012 was awarded jointly to Sir John B. Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka "for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent"

Yamanaka Factors Are a set of 4 transcription factors when introduced into cells induces stem cell formation. PMID 16904174 | PMID 18035408 | PMID 20535199
John Gurdon used nuclear transplantation and cloning to show that the nucleus of a differentiated somatic cell retains the totipotency necessary to form a whole organism. 2003 Current Biology Interview PMID 14521852 2009 Interview - "The birth of cloning" PMID 19132124

Shown below is the original embryology main page content links, I removed this in the latest update to simplify the opening page appearance, but this also removed the google visibility. Human Embryology Human Embryo, Carnegie stages 1-23 Human Embryo Reproductive Cycles - reproductive cycles of different species. Category:Ovary Fertilization - the methods and events surrounding fertilization. Embryonic Development - in humans the first eight weeks of development. Category:Human Embryo Fetal Development - in humans from week 9 to 36 of development. Category:Human Fetus Birth - the methods and events surrounding parturition or "birth". Category:Birth Timeline - a general overview of human development. Prenatal Diagnosis - techniques to diagnose abnormal development. Prenatal Diagnosis Movies Movies There are many different animations showing developmental processes and research material Movies main page they currently being prepared in the MP4 format.
