A stem-cell-based monkey embryo model that self-organizes into a comprehensive body plan could lead the way to more-sophisticated models of early human development. Xiangyu Kong is in the Department ...

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.

Scientists have engineered an artificial womb lining, a breakthrough allowing unprecedented observation of early human embryo ...

Scientists have developed an experimental way to study how human embryos implant in a uterus, which may provide new insights ...

High-resolution 3D womb model gives insights into embryo implantation, infertility, and signals between embryo and mother, ...

Scientists have achieved a major breakthrough in understanding how a human embryo implants in the uterus by recreating a ...

Then researchers placed blastoids and embryos donated after infertility treatments inside the little device and watched it ...

In the earliest hours after fertilization, an embryo takes its first steps toward becoming a living organism by shedding maternal control and activating its own genetic program. This critical process, ...

The team placed blastocysts—embryos 5-6 days after fertilization that were donated following IVF procedures—onto the artificial endometrium. The blastocysts attached to the surface of the lining, ...

The model allows scientists to study interactions between the womb and embryo, and look for causes behind implantation ...
