The majority of fertilized eggs die and are resorbed into the body. ZEISS Microscopy/Flickr, CC BY-SA As an evolutionary biologist whose career has focused on how embryos develop in a wide variety of ...

At first glance, it looks like the start of a human pregnancy: A ball-shaped embryo presses gently into the receptive lining ...

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

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development—including the production ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development - including the ...

A confocal microscopy image of a nine-day-old human embryo, with specific proteins and cellular structures colored distinctively. Green relates to embryonic stem cells and magenta associates with ...

The team observed the emergence of the three-dimensional embryo-like structures under a microscope in the lab. These started producing blood (seen here in red) after around two weeks of development - ...

A recent study in Advanced Science presents a method for studying early human embryology by bioprinting epiblast-like structures from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). The model forms a ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...
