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

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 ...

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 ...

A system which replicates the womb lining (endometrium) with high biological fidelity has been developed by researchers at the Babraham ...

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

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

A gene that turns on very early in embryonic development could be key to the formation of the placenta, which provides the developing fetus with what it needs to thrive during gestation.

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 ...
