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

By engineering a system replicating the womb lining with high biological accuracy, researchers at the Babraham Institute and ...

"Understanding embryo implantation and embryo development just after implantation has significant clinical relevance as these stages are particularly prone to failure," said Dr. Peter Rugg-Gunn, ...

From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop correctly. Two of the first physical structures to form in the embryo are ...

This workshop explored the state of the science of mammalian embryo model systems, including nonhuman primate and human models. The goal was to begin with an overview of the developments that have set ...

Embryos now cross borders with increasing regularity, carried quietly by couriers and safeguarded by systems designed to leave little to chance.

Microscopy image of a day 14 human embryo that has implanted in the new endometrial model. The bright blue cells in the centre of the image are unspecialised epiblast cells that later in development ...

By engineering a system replicating the womb lining with high biological accuracy, researchers at the Babraham Institute and Stanford University have been able to study the implantation of human ...

Scientists have gotten an unprecedented look at how the human embryo implants in a uterus. They did this by creating very primitive, womb-like environments in the lab. "This is really important work ...
