The embryos weren’t used to try to establish a pregnancy, but the researchers behind the technique say it could one day be ...

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

A new study using stem cell-based models has shed new light on how the human embryo begins to develop, which could one day benefit the development of fertility treatment. A new study using stem ...

The FINANCIAL — MRC-funded scientists at the University of Exeter have discovered how to recreate the early structure of the human embryo from stem cells in the laboratory. Scientists at the ...

Embryo development starts when a single egg cell is fertilized and starts dividing continuously. Initially a chaotic cluster, it gradually evolves into a highly organized structure. Scientists have ...

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 genetic material from ancient viruses (called endogenous retroviruses or ...

A pair of research teams unveiled two new ways to replicate a key structure from the earliest days of embryonic development — an advance that could provide important new insight into human development ...

The most advanced lab-made human embryo models look like the real thing — they resemble, though don't perfectly replicate, natural embryos about 14 days into development. These lab-made embryo models ...

When a sperm meets an egg, a lot has to go right for an embryo to develop into a complete organism. One critical step of ...

CINCINNATI (WXIX) - A Northern Kentucky couple who once thought they would never be able to have children is now a family-of-four thanks to a procedure that’s still fairly uncommon. Karie and Chris ...

A new study using stem cell-based models has shed new light on how the human embryo begins to develop, which could one day benefit the development of fertility treatment. The study led by at the ...
