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 developed an experimental way to study how human embryos implant in a uterus, which may provide new insights into why miscarriages occur and how they can be prevented.

The process behind embryonic diapause could explain how cancer cells can survive long periods of metabolic stress.

Seals give birth only when conditions are right. After mating, a female seal can delay implantation of the embryo in the ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a lab-grown embryo-like model called “hematoids”, which self-organises from stem cells to mimic very early human development. After about two ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development—including the production ...

The team observed the emergence of the three-dimensional embryo-like structures under a microscope in the lab. These started producing blood (seen here in red) after around two weeks of development - ...

Every human life begins as a cluster of cells that soon face critical decisions. Within weeks, those cells must choose their fates – some forming the nervous system, others the gut, heart, or muscle.

The method could one day become a treatment for infertility A decade of further research needed, scientists say The process overcomes an obstacle that stymied previous attempts Significant safety ...
