Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...
Scientists have developed an experimental way to study how human embryos implant in a uterus, which may provide new insights ...
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 ...
What do the earliest stages of a pregnancy look like? Embryonic development has been extensively studied, but most of our knowledge of the earliest stages of a growing baby come from stationary ...
Research shows how the curved shape of a zebrafish egg sets cell division timing, gene activation, and early cell fate ...
Our ancient past isn't always buried history. When it comes to our DNA, nearly 9% of the human genome is made up of leftover genetic material from ancient viruses (called endogenous retroviruses or ...
Scientists have created synthetic blobs that resemble a 14-day-old human embryo for the first time, meaning they can study embryo development beyond a particularly tricky period of pregnancy.
Our lofty friends, the giraffes, are slowly and quietly disappearing from the wild. Some organizations are trying to help ...
