Then researchers placed blastoids and embryos donated after infertility treatments inside the little device and watched it ...

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

What do the earliest stages of a pregnancy look like? Embryonic development has been extensively studied, but most of our knowledge of the earliest stages of a growing baby come from stationary ...

Under his microscope, Jun Wu could see several tiny spheres, each less than 1 millimetre wide. They looked just like human embryos: a dark cluster of cells surrounded by a cavity, and then another ...

A research team showed that, contrary to current models, one early embryonic cell dominates lineages that will become the fetus. “They are not identical,” said Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz, a ...

Stem-cell models provide evidence that viral DNA sequences that entered the human genome in the past were repurposed to aid early stages of embryonic development. Sherif Khodeer is in the Department ...

Magdalena (Magda) Zernicka-Goetz, today a developmental and stem cell biologist at the University of Cambridge and California Institute of Technology, recalled being an artistic child who enjoyed ...

The new platform's ethically grounded approach promises to reveal much about how human embryos form during the earliest stages of pregnancy. It's one of life's most defining moments -- that crucial ...

Scientists have developed an experimental way to study how human embryos implant in a uterus, which may provide new insights ...

Statements in English by Samuel Ojosnegros Martos, Principal Investigator of the Bioengineering for Reproductive Health Group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), and leader of the ...

A new study challenges what's long been assumed about genetic variants thought to always cause inherited blindness.

A new study from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, UK reveals how ancient viral DNA once written off as ...
