Scientists create a ‘mini-womb’ 3D model on a microfluidic chip which could lead to treatments for women affected by infertility.

A China-led team has successfully created a mini-womb on a chip, replicating the early stages of human pregnancy ...

The majority of fertilized eggs die and are resorbed into the body. ZEISS Microscopy/Flickr, CC BY-SA As an evolutionary biologist whose career has focused on how embryos develop in a wide variety of ...

Researchers have used stem cells to develop new human embryolike structures that model the earliest stages of fetal development so realistically that they even secrete hormones that can turn a lab ...

The AURA has six stations that use robot arms to maneuver pipettes and petri dishes. It tracks and selects swimming sperm, ...

Then researchers placed blastoids and embryos donated after infertility treatments inside the little device and watched it under a microscope. A human blastoid is a stem-cell-made copy of an early ...

Researchers have used naïve pluripotent stem cells to create an embryo model that looks and acts like a natural human embryo. They say it’s an ethical way of gaining a better understanding of ...

Scientists have grown a scalable new embryo-like model that unshrouds some mysteries of early human development, including blood cell formation, or hematopoiesis—a first for the field. In an article ...

Our ancient past isn't always buried history. When it comes to our DNA, nearly 9% of the human genome is made up of leftover genetic material from ancient viruses (called endogenous retroviruses or ...

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 ...

A team of scientists have successfully created authentic models of a human embryo using stem cells, and successfully grown them outside of a womb until key embryonic features such as a yolk sac, and ...

Only about one out of three conceptions leads to birth. 1 Approximately a third of embryos fail to attach to the uterus, while another third is lost after the embryo implants. “Human reproduction is ...
