Janet Rossant is president of the Gairdner Foundation, and senior scientist emeritus at The Hospital for Sick Children, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada. The first few weeks of a human embryo’s ...

Endometrial model will revolutionise what we know about embryo development during implantation, supporting our understanding of the causes of early pregnancy loss and serious pregnancy complications.

Cell compaction is a crucial step in embryo development. Defective compaction prevents the formation of the structure that ensures an embryo can implant in the uterus. This stage is carefully ...

Researchers from the University of Adelaide have discovered that the earliest days of embryo development have a measurable impact on a person’s future health and ageing. Professor Rebecca Robker, ...

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

High-resolution 3D womb model gives insights into embryo implantation, infertility, and signals between embryo and mother, ...

Scientists have created a stem cell-derived model of the human embryo in the lab by reprogramming human stem cells. The breakthrough could help research into genetic disorders and in understanding why ...

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

Researchers have used naïve pluripotent stem cells to create an embryo model that looks and acts like a natural human embryo. They say it’s an ethical way of gaining a better understanding of ...

Scientists have captured the first instance of an early stage embryo forming, which could help solve the 'mystery' of how congenital birth defects start in humans. Australian researchers watched in ...
