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

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

The first lineage decisions in mammalian embryonic development are made shortly after a wave of transcriptional activation that acts as a wake-up call for the sleeping embryonic genome to claim the ...

Transposable elements are stretches of DNA that can move around the genome. Many of these DNA sequences originate from long ...

Despite being an essential developmental process, the understanding of human embryonic genome activation is limited, owing to the lack of in vitro cell models and ethical concerns. To advance ...

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

A new study from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, UK reveals how ancient viral DNA once written off as ...

Two to three weeks after conception, an embryo faces a critical point in its development. In the stage known as gastrulation, the transformation of embryonic cells into specialized cells begins. This ...

Researchers have created a replica of womb lining or endometrium which allowed them to study the implantation of human ...

The image shows cross sections from four different developmental stages in the early embryo from gastrulation (flat) to the end of neurulation. Unexpectedly, the study revealed that stem cells that ...
