A research team has unveiled a non-destructive, highly accurate approach for determining the optimal timing of embryo rescue ...

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

A small tissue fold in fly embryos, once thought purposeless, plays a vital role in stabilizing tissues. Researchers show that it absorbs stress during early development, and its position and timing ...

Caltech researchers have developed a powerful new method for creating embryo-like structures from stem cells that could ...

Scientists recorded in 3D and in real time the exact moment a human embryo implanted itself in an artificial uterus, opening new avenues for treating infertility.

The evolutionary blueprint for hands was borrowed in part from a much older genetic plan for our nether regions, a new study ...

Sixty percent of miscarriages are caused by the failure of an embryo—the developmental stage before a fetus—to implant in the woman’s uterus. Part of the problem is that researchers have no idea how ...

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

A powerful new method for creating embryo-like structures from stem cells that could transform how we study fertility.

Researchers found marijuana's active ingredient may disrupt egg cells and embryos, adds to research that marijuana use can ...

But a new study suggests that these parallels are a bit of an accident, and digits come by re-deploying a genetic network that controls a completely different process: the formation of the cloaca, a ...

Researchers at EPFL have created the first 4D lipid atlas of vertebrate development, revealing how fats shape our bodies from ...
