Pioneering research led has provided new insight into formation of the human embryo. Pioneering research led by experts from the University of Exeter's Living Systems Institute has provided new ...

When a sperm meets an egg, a lot has to go right for an embryo to develop into a complete organism. One critical step of ...

Metabolism does more than fuel embryos—it sets their developmental rhythm. EMBL researchers found that a sugar molecule, FBP, ...

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 ...

Scientists have sought to capture the first days of how a person comes to be, by recreating those early moments in a lab via models made up of induced pluripotent stem cells, or IPSCs.

EMBL researchers found metabolism plays a signaling role during embryonic development, not just an energy-providing one. In ...

With embryolike constructs built entirely from stem cells, researchers can revolutionize our understanding of development. But how close to an embryo is too close? In April, researchers in China ...

A research team at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin has explored the role of factors in embryonic development that do not alter the sequence of DNA, but only epigenetically ...

A research team has unveiled a non-destructive, highly accurate approach for determining the optimal timing of embryo rescue ...
