Some newly reported clumps of cells growing in lab dishes have been hailed as the closest things to human embryos that scientists have ever made in the lab. These entities are human embryo models — ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

Scientists have identified key molecular events in the developing human embryo between days 7 and 14 -- one of the most mysterious, yet critical, stages of our development. Scientists have identified ...

In mammals, signalling between the placenta and the embryo is essential for successful development. Here, a quantitative, time-resolved model describes the coordinated formation of the mouse embryo ...

The work appears in Cell. "Understanding embryo implantation and embryo development just after implantation has significant clinical relevance as these stages are particularly prone to failure," said ...

"Understanding embryo implantation and embryo development just after implantation has significant clinical relevance as these stages are particularly prone to failure," said Dr. Peter Rugg-Gunn, ...

The world has now learned of a surprising scientific advance: so-called “synthetic embryos.” Their arrival promises to reveal to medicine previously hidden glimpses into problems of early pregnancy.

A system which replicates the womb lining (endometrium) with high biological fidelity has been developed by researchers at the Babraham Institute and used to listen in to the communication that ...

"Zebrahub" is an atlas of cells in developing zebrafish embryos, and scientists say it will help us learn about our own biology, too. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
