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

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.

Scientists have created a stem cell-derived model of the human embryo in the lab by reprogramming human stem cells. The breakthrough could help research into genetic disorders and in understanding why ...

Researchers have used stem cells to develop new human embryolike structures that model the earliest stages of fetal development so realistically that they even secrete hormones that can turn a lab ...

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

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

Scientists can now create embryo-like structures from animal and human stem cells in the lab, and recently, researchers unveiled the most advanced human embryo models yet, which resemble natural ...

Transposable elements are stretches of DNA that can move around the genome. Many of these DNA sequences originate from long ...

Embryos in pregnancies that end in miscarriage take longer to develop in the womb than those in pregnancies that result in live births, according to new research published today (Monday) in Human ...

The viral transposable element, MERVL, acts as a central switch during early embryonic development, driving totipotent gene ...
