Life on Earth began in a way that still boggles the mind. Around 4.5 billion years ago, a chemical process called abiogenesis occurred, where life emerged from non-life. Imagine a hot, watery mix of ...

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

It turns out that a gene called LTR5Hs activates a gene that affects the growth of an embryo and the proliferation of stem ...

Researchers have captured the very first real-time, three-dimensional images and videos of a human embryo implanting into collagen designed to mimic uterine tissue —a key stage in reproduction. The ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) in collaboration with the Dexeus University Hospital have captured unparalleled images of a human embryo implanting. This is the ...

A new study reveals some of the crucial molecular steps on the path to bipedalism. By Carl Zimmer Charles Darwin unveiled his theory of evolution in 1859, in “On the Origin of Species.” But it took ...

Researchers have captured the very first real-time, three-dimensional images and videos of a human embryo implanting into synthetic uterine tissue—revealing a key stage in reproduction. The resulting ...

A human embryo embeds itself into a fake uterus created by researchers. Screenshot from an Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia video Sixty percent of miscarriages are caused by the failure of an ...
