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

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 ...

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.

Our ancient past isn't always buried history. When it comes to our DNA, nearly 9% of the human genome is made up of leftover genetic material from ancient viruses (called endogenous retroviruses or ...

A team of scientists has just gotten a closer peek into one of the earliest and most fundamental steps of creating a human life. Research out today highlights how they captured—for the first ...

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

Researchers have developed a new embryo-like model derived from adult cells that replicates key features of early human development, including the generation of blood cells. University of Pittsburgh ...

The first few days of a human embryo’s development, known as pre-implantation, are important. It’s when the first cells are formed, and these decide if the embryo can survive, how it will implant in ...

Collaborative work has developed a cell culture system that differentiates human pluripotent stem cells to amniotic ectoderm and surface ectoderm based on cell density. Research conducted by Dr Shota ...

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 ...
