Faced with demographic collapse in her home country, the Chinese expert is conducting experiments on stem cells and human ...

The team placed blastocysts—embryos 5-6 days after fertilization that were donated following IVF procedures—onto the artificial endometrium. The blastocysts attached to the surface of the lining, ...

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

Descriptions of the embryo go back at least to the time of Aristotle, but it has only been since the late 19 th century and early 20 th century that advances in experimental approaches allowed ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development - including the ...

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.

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 ...

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

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

Although scientists know a lot about the process of human embryo implantation, it had never been recorded in real time, until now. Now that investigators can observe it in action, they may be able to ...

Creating human eggs from adult cells just got one step closer to reality. A technique used in cloning combined with fertilization and a bit of chemical coaxing caused human skin cells to produce eggs ...
