Scientists from a collaboration of Australian research institutions have proposed that editing multiple genetic variants in human embryos could significantly lower the likelihood of developing complex ...

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 ...

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.

Our understanding of human placenta formation just deepened with the discovery of a gene essential to early embryonic development.

A recent study in Advanced Science presents a method for studying early human embryology by bioprinting epiblast-like structures from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). The model forms a ...

Stem cells are precursors of a variety of different cells: They can turn into anything from blood to bone to muscle. Human blood stem cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells, are the forerunners of ...

Only about one out of three conceptions leads to birth. 1 Approximately a third of embryos fail to attach to the uterus, while another third is lost after the embryo implants. “Human reproduction is ...

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

The viral transposable element, MERVL, acts as a central switch during early embryonic development, driving totipotent gene ...
