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

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 ...

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.

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

Implantation, one of the most poorly understood phases of early human development, occurs in the depths of the womb, at a ...

Our ancient past isn't always buried history. When it comes to our DNA, nearly 9% of the human genome is made up of leftover genetic material from ancient viruses (called endogenous retroviruses or ...

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 ...

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 production ...

Scientists have discovered a kind of “pause button” in early human development. This biological mechanism has long been known in other mammals, but its discovery in humans could aid IVF procedures.

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 ...
