Researchers have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four weeks after fertilization. This is ...

The first few days of a human embryo’s development, known as pre-implantation, are important. It’s when the first cells are formed, and these decide if the embryo can survive, how it will implant in ...

Scientists create a ‘mini-womb’ 3D model on a microfluidic chip which could lead to treatments for women affected by ...

Researchers at the Babraham Institute have ‘listened in’ to the communication between the embryo and the womb lining at the ...

Scientists have created embryo models to help study the mysteries of early human development, the medical problems that happen before birth and why many pregnancies fail. These models are made from ...

Every human life starts with a risky and delicate event—a microscopic embryo finding a ...

"Understanding embryo implantation and embryo development just after implantation has significant clinical relevance as these stages are particularly prone to failure," said Dr. Peter Rugg-Gunn, ...

CRCHUM researcher Sophie Petropoulos and her team reveal for the first time that the guinea pig pre-implantation embryo is very similar to the human embryo, spurring a better understanding of ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...
