At first glance, it looks like the start of a human pregnancy: A ball-shaped embryo presses gently into the receptive lining ...

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.

Studying chemical chatter as tiny balls of cells embed could shine a light on early pregnancy and glitches that lead to miscarriage ...

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

Endometrial model will revolutionise what we know about embryo development during implantation, supporting our understanding of the causes of early pregnancy loss and serious pregnancy complications.

A MedUni Vienna study team led by geneticist Markus Hengstschläger has used a stem cell model to model the earliest stages of embryonic development and to characterize the membrane that surrounds the ...

Scientists have uncovered a new quality control system that removes damaged cells from early developing embryos. Scientists studying gene activity data of the early human embryo have discovered an ...

The early beginnings of an embryo as it transforms from a clump of cells to a tiny human is a bit of a mystery — scientifically speaking. We know many of the broad strokes, but there are a lot of ...
