Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

Researchers at the Babraham Institute have ‘listened in’ to the communication between the embryo and the womb lining at the ...

The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller ...

A MedUni Vienna study team led by geneticist Markus Hengstschläger has used a stem cell model to model the earliest stages of embryonic development and to characterize the membrane that surrounds the ...

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 ...

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.

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