Researchers have used stem cells to develop new human embryolike structures that model the earliest stages of fetal development so realistically that they even secrete hormones that can turn a lab ...

Researchers have created a replica of womb lining or endometrium which allowed them to study the implantation of human embryos — process that signals start of a pregnancy. Described in a paper in the ...

For decades, scientists have struggled to study this moment in humans because of ethical restrictions and limited access to ...

"Understanding embryo implantation and embryo development just after implantation has significant clinical relevance as these stages are particularly prone to failure," said Dr. Peter Rugg-Gunn, ...

Researchers at the Babraham Institute have ‘listened in’ to the communication between the embryo and the womb lining at the ...

Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST; Saudi Arabia) have announced the development of a new deep learning tool, deepBlastoid, to study models of human embryo ...

The traditional way to make an embryo is to combine a sperm cell with an egg, often after dinner and a bottle of wine. But a new way may be around the corner. In recent years scientists have ...

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

A system which replicates the womb lining (endometrium) with high biological fidelity has been developed by researchers at the Babraham Institute and used to listen in to the communication that ...

Described in a paper in the journal Cell, the model allows scientists to study interactions between the womb and embryo, and look for causes behind implantation failure -- a main reason for early ...
