The signals orchestrating the transformation of cells into the highly organized structures of embryos have remained hidden from observation inside the womb. Now, scientists have illuminated early ...

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 ...

A video showing a synthetic mouse embryo model on day 8 of its development; it has a beating heart, a yolk sac, a placenta and an emerging blood circulation. “The embryo is the best organ-making ...

The sculpting of the face during embryonic development - the physical molding that determines what we will look like - may remain open to change much longer than had been thought, according to ...

Physical cues in the womb, and not just genetics, influence the normal development of neural crest cells, the embryonic stem cells that form facial features, finds a new study led by UCL researchers.

Physical cues in the womb, and not just genetics, influence the normal development of neural crest cells, the embryonic stem cells that form facial features, finds a new study. Physical cues in the ...

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have used mouse stem cells to create a model embryo in the laboratory – a breakthrough they describe as "a new avenue for recreating the first stages of ...

Lab-grown structures with the potential to develop into fetuses should be defined — and regulated — as embryos, some researchers say. It is time for a redefinition of the human embryo, a team of ...

Embryos in pregnancies that end in miscarriage take longer to develop in the womb than those in pregnancies that result in live births, according to new research published today (Monday) in Human ...

Physical cues in the womb, and not just genetics, influence the normal development of neural crest cells, the embryonic stem cells that form facial features, finds a new study led by UCL researchers.

What happens in the first weeks after a human embryo implants in the uterus has been a black box. Now, biologists have had a chance to study this stage of development in detail for the first time. The ...
