Scientists have created the first detailed day-by-day map of human embryo development using single-cell technology.

Around eight days after fertilization, the human embryo implants in the endometrium (the tissue that lines the uterus). After implantation, it enters a developmental phase that is not well understood ...

Our ancient past isn't always buried history. When it comes to our DNA, nearly 9% of the human genome is made up of leftover ...

Embryonic morphological development is delayed in live pregnancies ending in miscarriage, according to a prospective cohort study from the Netherlands. Among over 600 singleton pregnancies, those ...

A recent Nature study evaluates post-implantation development in humans using embryo-like models based on genetically unmodified human naïve embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Study: Complete human day 14 ...

With embryolike constructs built entirely from stem cells, researchers can revolutionize our understanding of development. But how close to an embryo is too close? In April, researchers in China ...

Pregnant women rely on a balanced diet and supplements to deliver proper nutrients to their babies, to ensure they grow ...

The biological and legal definitions of “embryo” don’t match, and that will become a problem, according to Nicolas Rivron, PhD, of the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of ...
