Researchers have shed light on an important stage of early embryo development that has never been fully mapped out in humans before. Because of the nature of available samples, studies so far have ...

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 ...

Researchers said their model mimics certain key features of a 20-day-old human embryo but does not have the potential to develop into one. A new “embryo-like” model developed in the lab using stem ...

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

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 ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in developing a technique to culture human embryos in lab for up to 13 days - Representational image Reuters Scientists have developed a new technique to grow ...

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.

Implantation, one of the most poorly understood phases of early human development, occurs in the depths of the womb, at a ...

Scientists report they have grown the early stages of a human embryo-like entity without using sperm, an egg or a womb. The ’embryo model’ even releases hormones that triggered a positive pregnancy ...

Scientists have grown “complete” models of human embryos in the lab with all the known features found in normal embryos around two weeks old. Known as stem cell-based embryo-like structures, or SEMs, ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...

THE earliest mutations of human life when the embryo is only a few cells big, have been observed by researchers. Analysing genomes from adult cells, the scientists could look back in time to reveal ...
