A "synthetic" embryo with a brain and beating heart has been created by British scientists. It features the foundations of all the body's organs, including neural and gut tubes that protect the ...

An extraordinary new study has detailed the development of a nearly complete mouse embryo – with muscles, blood vessels and a tiny beating heart – grown in a lab dish out of stem cells. The research ...

The findings shed light on the origins of congenital heart defects and could open new avenues in regenerative medicine and tissue bioengineering. A study published today in the journal Developmental ...

Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, School of Medicine, University of Washington Embryonic development, also known as embryogenesis, is a cornerstone in understanding the origins of life ...

Monozygotic twinning itself after elective single embryo transfer is uncommon, occurring in no more than roughly 3% of cases.

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have harnessed mouse stem cells to create model “synthetic” embryos that comprise a brain, a beating heart, and the foundations of all the other organs of ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from the University of Cambridge have created model embryos from mouse stem cells that form a brain, a beating heart, and the foundations of all the other organs of the ...

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 ...

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 ...
