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

The majority of fertilized eggs die and are resorbed into the body. ZEISS Microscopy/Flickr, CC BY-SA As an evolutionary biologist whose career has focused on how embryos develop in a wide variety of ...

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

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

What do the earliest stages of a pregnancy look like? Embryonic development has been extensively studied, but most of our knowledge of the earliest stages of a growing baby come from stationary ...

At first glance, it looks like the start of a human pregnancy: A ball-shaped embryo presses gently into the receptive lining ...

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 team observed the emergence of the three-dimensional embryo-like structures under a microscope in the lab. These started producing blood (seen here in red) after around two weeks of development - ...

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 ...
