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 ...

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.

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

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

Scientists have captured the first instance of an early stage embryo forming, which could help solve the 'mystery' of how congenital birth defects start in humans. Australian researchers watched in ...

Researchers have come up with a new 3D model of human embryonic development over the first two months of pregnancy. Known as the 3D Atlas and Database of Human Embryology, it constitutes an important ...

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 ...

Cell compaction is a crucial step in embryo development. Defective compaction prevents the formation of the structure that ensures an embryo can implant in the uterus. This stage is carefully ...

Gene-free DNA segments play an important role in the development of the embryo and heart in mice and humans. A study published in "Nature Communications" by the University of Bern (Unibe) shows the ...

Scientists have grown a human embryo-like structure in a lab which replicates very early human development - including the production of blood stem cells. The lab-grown embryo model could help ...

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