Researchers have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four weeks after fertilization. This is ...

University of Pittsburgh 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.

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

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 ...

It's one of life's most defining moments - that crucial step in embryonic development, when an indistinct ball of cells rearranges itself into the orderly three-layered structure that sets the stage ...

Scientists have sought to capture the first days of how a person comes to be, by recreating those early moments in a lab via models made up of induced pluripotent stem cells, or IPSCs. Induced ...

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

Scientists have engineered an artificial womb lining, a breakthrough allowing unprecedented observation of early human embryo ...

Scientists have recreated the human womb lining in the lab, revealing how embryos implant and survive after fertilisation, ...

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 ...
