Researchers reveal that the guinea pig pre-implantation embryo is very similar to the human embryo, spurring a better understanding of infertility and early human development. CRCHUM researcher Sophie ...
A recent study in Nature Cell Biology identified guinea pigs as promising small animals to model preimplantation development, a critical step in human embryogenesis. Stem cells provide opportunities ...
