Human embryo development and early organ formation remain largely unexplored due to ethical issues surrounding the use of embryos for research as well as limited availability of materials to study. In ...

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.

Scientists have created synthetic blobs that resemble a 14-day-old human embryo for the first time, meaning they can study embryo development beyond a particularly tricky period of pregnancy.

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 ...

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 ...

According to multiple studies, one in three pregnancies results in miscarriage, and one in 33 babies that are born will have a birth defect, due to the embryo forming incorrectly in the womb. Studying ...
