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 ...

Researchers from The University of Osaka have found that they can keep mouse uterine tissue alive outside of the body, allowing them to directly observe embryonic implantation and development. Their ...

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 ...

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.

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

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

This study provides valuable insights into human valve development by integrating snRNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics to characterize cell populations and regulatory programs in the embryonic and ...

Embryos regulate mechanical tensions between tissues and thus stabilize developmental processes – the basis for evolutionary ...

The use of assisted reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization is becoming more common worldwide. However, while ...

A small tissue fold present in fruit fly embryos buffers mechanical stresses and may have evolved in response to mechanical ...

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 ...

Hosted by the Department of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry, the event is held on a near-annual basis to ...
