By tracking the fate of individual embryonic stem cells, researchers have found that endoderm cells—early embryonic cells ...

A small tissue fold in fly embryos, once thought purposeless, plays a vital role in stabilizing tissues. Researchers show that it absorbs stress during early development, and its position and timing ...

Scientists recorded in 3D and in real time the exact moment a human embryo implanted itself in an artificial uterus, opening new avenues for treating infertility.

Caltech researchers have developed a powerful new method for creating embryo-like structures from stem cells that could ...

Researchers at EPFL have created the first 4D lipid atlas of vertebrate development, revealing how fats shape our bodies from ...

A powerful new method for creating embryo-like structures from stem cells that could transform how we study fertility.

Sixty percent of miscarriages are caused by the failure of an embryo—the developmental stage before a fetus—to implant in the woman’s uterus. Part of the problem is that researchers have no idea how ...

Cannabis use in women may compromise egg development and increase the risk of miscarriage, a new study has shown.
