University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that ...

Human embryo models capable of synthesizing their own blood have been developed, in an advance that could lead to new ...

Scientists have created the first detailed day-by-day map of human embryo development using single-cell technology.

Cambridge scientists grow ‘hematoids’, embryo-like structures from stem cells that generate blood stem cells after two weeks ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge say they have produced human blood cells in the laboratory by using embryo-like ...

An advanced human heart organoid system can be used to model embryonic heart development under pregestational diabetes-like conditions, researchers report. The organoids recapitulate hallmarks of ...

When does your baby develop a heartbeat? A baby's heartbeat (at this point a fluttering of cells) starts as early as to 4 weeks after conception or 6 weeks after the first day of the last menstrual ...

Scientists at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences have developed a multi-chamber organoid that mirrors the heart’s intricate structure. The human ...

A new discovery by researchers challenges our current understanding of gastrulation, the most important stage of early embryonic development. When the zygote, or the fertilised egg, starts to develop, ...

Long before human bone marrow takes over the task of producing blood, discrete waves of blood cell production occur in the developing embryo. Miriana Dardano, a postdoctoral researcher in Zweigerdt’s ...
