By tracking the fate of individual embryonic stem cells, researchers have found that endoderm cells—early embryonic cells ...

Researchers have revealed insight into why embryos erase a key epigenetic mark during early development, suggesting this may have evolved to help form a placenta. Researchers at the Francis Crick ...

Primary cilia play a powerful role in how cells sense their surroundings. They help guide embryo development and ensure ...

Embryo development starts when a single egg cell is fertilized and starts dividing continuously. Initially a chaotic cluster, it gradually evolves into a highly organized structure. Scientists have ...

Scientists have created an embryo-like structure using monkey embryonic stem cells for the first time, part of an effort to better understand early human development and organ formation. The ...

Research led by scientists from the Institute of Molecular Biology of Barcelona (IBMB) of the CSIC and the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) has managed to film how a few days-old ...

With embryolike constructs built entirely from stem cells, researchers can revolutionize our understanding of development. But how close to an embryo is too close? In April, researchers in China ...

This could be egg-cellent news for women struggling with infertility. A research team from Japan says it has developed a new egg maturation technique that may improve in vitro fertilization (IVF) ...
