Chinese researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind human embryo-disc model capable of providing a controllable platform ...

Chinese scientists have successfully developed an embryonic disc-like gastrulation model known as Disc-Gastruloid, unlocking ...

Research led by the University of Cambridge Loke Center for Trophoblast Research has shown that a genome-editing technique ...

Embryonic morphogenesis encompasses the collective and individual cell behaviours that sculpt the early embryo into a structured body plan. Central to this process are coordinated cell migrations, ...

Sixty percent of miscarriages are caused by the failure of an embryo—the developmental stage before a fetus—to implant in the woman’s uterus. Part of the problem is that researchers have no idea how ...

A team of scientists has just gotten a closer peek into one of the earliest and most fundamental steps of creating a human life. Research out today highlights how they captured—for the first ...

A DNA-editing feat involving editing the genes of early stage embryos—a far cry from designer babies, but nevertheless a step in that direction—was announced this week. Dieter Egli, an associate ...

Researchers led by developmental biologist Kathy Niakan at the University of Cambridge have used base editing in human embryos to learn more about human embryonic development. By deactivating a gene ...

Researchers have captured the very first real-time, three-dimensional images and videos of a human embryo implanting into synthetic uterine tissue—revealing a key stage in reproduction. The resulting ...
