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

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

Studying chemical chatter as tiny balls of cells embed could shine a light on early pregnancy and glitches that lead to miscarriage ...

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

Scientists have engineered an artificial womb lining, a breakthrough allowing unprecedented observation of early human embryo ...

From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop correctly. Two of the first physical structures to form in the embryo are ...

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

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

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 ...

A stem-cell-based monkey embryo model that self-organizes into a comprehensive body plan could lead the way to more-sophisticated models of early human development. Xiangyu Kong is in the Department ...

Scientists have developed an experimental way to study how human embryos implant in a uterus, which may provide new insights into why miscarriages occur and how they can be prevented.
