A new “embryo-like” model developed in the lab using stem cells has allowed scientists to observe the earliest stages of human development for the first time. Researchers from the University of ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

BEIJING -- After years of dedicated research, a team of Chinese scientists has unveiled critical mechanisms governing early human embryonic development, offering novel theories and potential ...

The first few days of a human embryo’s development, known as pre-implantation, are important. It’s when the first cells are formed, and these decide if the embryo can survive, how it will implant in ...

Scientists have developed a new human-based endometrial model to study embryonic implantation in the early stages of ...

Ancient viruses are embedded everywhere in the human genome. Estimates range, but it's thought that about eight percent of the human genome could be made up of these ancient retroviruses, which are ...

Exclusive: Experts say increasing law from 14 days could lead to breakthroughs in understanding of miscarriages The 14-day limit for human embryo research should be extended to 28 days, the fertility ...
