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

The first lineage decisions in mammalian embryonic development are made shortly after a wave of transcriptional activation that acts as a wake-up call for the sleeping embryonic genome to claim the ...

Then researchers placed blastoids and embryos donated after infertility treatments inside the little device and watched it ...

Researchers have used stem cells to develop new human embryolike structures that model the earliest stages of fetal development so realistically that they even secrete hormones that can turn a lab ...

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.

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 ...

Researchers have created a replica of womb lining or endometrium which allowed them to study the implantation of human ...

Transposable elements are stretches of DNA that can move around the genome. Many of these DNA sequences originate from long ago, when viruses inserted their genetic material into our ancestors' ...

Ancient viruses are embedded everywhere in the human genome. Estimates range, but it's thought that about eight percent of the human genome could be made up of these ancient retroviruses, which are ...

Over 130 mammal species can delay embryonic development, giving their offspring the best possible chance of survival in ideal ...
