A groundbreaking experiment transforms skin cells into egg-like cells, offering hope for infertility treatments amidst ...

Biologists have provided new insights on a longstanding puzzle in biology: How complex organisms arise from a single fertilized cell. Producing a new 'gene atlas' with 4-D imaging, the researchers ...

~ Scientists said the advance does not mean research involving getting stem cells from human embryos should be abandoned. NEW YORK -- In a leap forward for stem-cell research, three independent teams ...

What do the earliest stages of a pregnancy look like? Embryonic development has been extensively studied, but most of our knowledge of the earliest stages of a growing baby come from stationary ...

A scientific milestone once thought impossible has been achieved. Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have developed a proof of concept that turns skin cells into eggs capable of ...

A research team showed that, contrary to current models, one early embryonic cell dominates lineages that will become the fetus. “They are not identical,” said Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz, a ...

A new study using stem cell-based models has shed new light on how the human embryo begins to develop, which could one day benefit the development of fertility treatment. The study led by at the ...

Scientists have developed an experimental way to study how human embryos implant in a uterus, which may provide new insights ...

A new study from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, UK reveals how ancient viral DNA once written off as ...

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 ...
