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 ...

A research team led by Associate Professor Hirofumi Nishizono and graduate student Masaki Kato from the Research Support ...

Genetic testing on embryos is more sophisticated and accessible than ever—and it’s now being sold as a way to let parents ...

A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in ...

A team of scientists from China has successfully created a miniature womb on a chip that mimics the complex environment of ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

An Instagram post about the last two northern white rhinos references a scenario conservationists have warned us about for ...

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 ...

In April, researchers in China reported that they had initiated pregnancies in monkeys through a procedure seemingly much like in vitro fertilization (IVF), in which embryos created in a dish were ...

As you age, your fertility slowly declines. By freezing eggs or embryos when you’re young (usually under the age of 40), you can preserve your eggs’ health and, through in vitro fertilization (IVF), ...

Scientists have created a stem cell-derived model of the human embryo in the lab by reprogramming human stem cells. The breakthrough could help research into genetic disorders and in understanding why ...
