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

The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller ...

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

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.

Researchers have used naïve pluripotent stem cells to create an embryo model that looks and acts like a natural human embryo. They say it’s an ethical way of gaining a better understanding of ...

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

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

Scientists have created a stem cell-derived model of the human embryo in the lab by reprogramming human stem cells. The breakthrough could help research into genetic disorders and in understanding why ...
