By engineering a system replicating the womb lining with high biological accuracy, researchers at the Babraham Institute and ...

Scientists captured first real-time 3D video of human embryo implantation, revealing mechanical forces behind successful ...

Under the microscope, MSK scientists studied how cells in a mouse embryo (green) move out and break away from their original tissue by contracting their surfaces (red). Studying this process, known as ...

Scientists have developed an experimental way to study how human embryos implant in a uterus, which may provide new insights into why miscarriages occur and how they can be prevented.

Despite being an essential developmental process, the understanding of human embryonic genome activation is limited, owing to the lack of in vitro cell models and ethical concerns. To advance ...

Embryos and the uterus exchange molecular signals within the first hour, shaping whether implantation succeeds or fails.

The team placed blastocysts—embryos 5-6 days after fertilization that were donated following IVF procedures—onto the ...

The major objection to the use of embryonic stem cells for scientific research seems overcome by the promising development of a way to extract cells and propagate stem cell lines without killing the ...

UCSF’s Program in Craniofacial Biology (PCB) brings together researchers to study the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying craniofacial development and birth defects, such as cleft lip and ...
