By engineering a system replicating the womb lining with high biological accuracy, researchers at the Babraham Institute and ...

Scientists captured first real-time 3D video of human embryo implantation, revealing mechanical forces behind successful ...

Scientists have developed an experimental way to study how human embryos implant in a uterus, which may provide new insights into why miscarriages occur and how they can be prevented.

From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

The majority of fertilized eggs die and are resorbed into the body. ZEISS Microscopy/Flickr, CC BY-SA As an evolutionary biologist whose career has focused on how embryos develop in a wide variety of ...

A new study using stem cell-based models has shed new light on how the human embryo begins to develop, which could one day benefit the development of fertility treatment. The study led by at the ...

Our understanding of human placenta formation just deepened with the discovery of a gene essential to early embryonic ...

Descriptions of the embryo go back at least to the time of Aristotle, but it has only been since the late 19 th century and early 20 th century that advances in experimental approaches allowed ...
