Multicellularity is one of the most profound phenomena in biology, and relies on the ability of a single cell to reorganize ...

Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what ...

Researchers have used naïve pluripotent stem cells to create an embryo model that looks and acts like a natural human embryo. They say it’s an ethical way of gaining a better understanding of ...

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 ...

Selecting the healthiest embryo is one of the most important steps in in‑vitro fertilization (IVF), yet it remains one of the ...

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 team at the University of Cambridge has announced making the first human “synthetic embryos” – embryo-like structures made from stem cells – that have been grown to a stage equivalent to just past ...

Researchers at Vanderbilt University have developed a new embryo culture dish that significantly improves microscope imaging, a longstanding barrier in in‑vitro fertilization (IVF). Traditional 3D ...
