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 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 ...

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 ...

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

They also showed that human embryonic stem cells grown in the laboratory can similarly continue to produce trophectoderm and placental cell types. These findings show unexpected flexibility in human ...

Researchers have taken a major step towards creating synthetic embryo-like structures that mimic real human embryos with most of the fundamental features of the earliest stages of life. The latest ...

A new study from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, UK reveals how ancient viral DNA once written off as ...

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 ...

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 ...

Humans are the only primates that walk on two legs. Scientists believe that their uniquely shaped pelvis, the bones that connect the spine to the legs, makes this possible. However, researchers didn’t ...
