Another alarming discovery about the potential problems of plastic pollution ended with researchers issuing a warning about medical care for pregnant people. A team led by Leiden University biologist ...

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 ...

Some newly reported clumps of cells growing in lab dishes have been hailed as the closest things to human embryos that scientists have ever made in the lab. These entities are human embryo models — ...

Bangkok — Scientists have developed human embryo-like structures without using sperm, an egg or fertilization, offering hope for research on miscarriage and birth defects but also raising fresh ...

A lot happens in the first month of human embryo development as a single cell morphs into multitudes. Yet despite its significance, this period is basically a “black box” to researchers, says stem ...

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 ...

Cambridge University researchers developed the world’s first synthetic human embryo models using stem cells but without using an egg or sperm, which has sparked ethical concerns and questions about ...

Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) in collaboration with the Dexeus University Hospital have captured unparalleled images of a human embryo implanting. This is the ...

Scientists have created embryo models to help study the mysteries of early human development, the medical problems that occur before birth and why many pregnancies fail. These models are made from ...
