The discovery of a gene essential to early embryonic development sheds light on the preliminary stages of human placenta formation. A team led by scientists from the University of California San Diego ...

Stem cell-based embryo models (SCBEMs) are three-dimensional biological structures that mimic aspects of early human embryo development. They can be created in the lab from stem cells, and can provide ...

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 - ...

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 ...

Stanford has successfully engineered a human uterus lining (endometrium) to be capable of embryo implantation — the first step to creating an artificial womb. On Tuesday, three studies published in ...

Stem cells are precursors of a variety of different cells: They can turn into anything from blood to bone to muscle. Human blood stem cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells, are the forerunners of ...

X chromosome reactivation contributes to reducing the signs of disease in the female brain. Female cells have two X ...

Only about one out of three conceptions leads to birth. 1 Approximately a third of embryos fail to attach to the uterus, while another third is lost after the embryo implants. “Human reproduction is ...

Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have identified a mechanism that protects the female ...
