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

Research shows how the curved shape of a zebrafish egg sets cell division timing, gene activation, and early cell fate ...

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.

Described in a paper in the journal Cell, the model allows scientists to study interactions between the womb and embryo, and ...

Two to three weeks after conception, an embryo faces a critical point in its development. In the stage known as gastrulation, the transformation of embryonic cells into specialized cells begins. This ...

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

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 ...

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.

Then researchers placed blastoids and embryos donated after infertility treatments inside the little device and watched it ...
