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

With a shiny snout and pink, veiny face, an image shared on X on Oct. 15, 2023, claimed to show a dog embryo after seven days of gestation. At the time of this publication, the post had received more ...

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

A new study shows embryos and the uterus exchange extracellular vesicles, lipids, and signals that shape early pregnancy ...

Scientists have developed an experimental way to study how human embryos implant in a uterus, which may provide new insights into why miscarriages occur and how they can be prevented.

STORY: This looks a lot like a human embryo. But it was created without sperm, eggs, or a womb. It was made in a lab, by a group of scientists in Israel. And what they've created so far offers a new ...

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.

Researchers have captured the very first real-time, three-dimensional images and videos of a human embryo implanting into synthetic uterine tissue—revealing a key stage in reproduction. The resulting ...

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 ...

Instead of a sperm and egg, the starting material was naive stem cells which were reprogrammed to gain the potential to become any type of tissue in the body. Chemicals were then used to coax these ...
