Around eight days after fertilization, the human embryo implants in the endometrium (the tissue that lines the uterus). After implantation, it enters a developmental phase that is not well understood ...

Then researchers placed blastoids and embryos donated after infertility treatments inside the little device and watched it ...

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

Endometrial model will revolutionise what we know about embryo development during implantation, supporting our understanding of the causes of early pregnancy loss and serious pregnancy complications.

High-resolution 3D womb model gives insights into embryo implantation, infertility, and signals between embryo and mother, ...

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

Researchers have used naïve pluripotent stem cells to create an embryo model that looks and acts like a natural human embryo. They say it’s an ethical way of gaining a better understanding of ...

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 ...

Transforming human stem cells into embryo-like structures was previously unthinkable. Yet seemingly overnight, multiple teams published initial results that reach towards this goal. Each team has a ...

Over 130 mammal species can delay embryonic development, giving their offspring the best possible chance of survival in ideal ...

The majority of fertilized eggs die and are resorbed into the body. ZEISS Microscopy/Flickr, CC BY-SA As an evolutionary biologist whose career has focused on how embryos develop in a wide variety of ...
