Artificial Intelligence revolutionizing modern gynaecology and obstetrics practice, enhancing diagnosis, treatment planning, ...

A Virginia judge this week ruled that embryos aren’t property in a lawsuit between two ex-spouses over their two IVF-produced embryos. Fairfax County Circuit Court Judge Dontae Bugg dismissed ...

The little clump of cells looked almost like a human embryo. Created from stem cells, without eggs, sperm, or a womb, the embryo model had a yolk sac and a proto-placenta, resembling a state that real ...

Scientists have discovered a kind of “pause button” in early human development. This biological mechanism has long been known in other mammals, but its discovery in humans could aid IVF ...

Screenshots from the first real-time video of early embryonic development. Fluorescent markers were used to show the movement of the filaments inside embryonic cells.

Early human development is a complex, multistep process that’s even more complicated to study in the lab. Models made from stem cells avoid some of the trouble with using real human embryos.

Scientists have grown a scalable new embryo-like model that unshrouds some mysteries of early human development, including blood cell formation.

In June Dr Zernicka-Goetz published a paper describing a human embryoid designed to mimic the earliest stages of development, shortly after a real embryo would have implanted into its mother’s womb.

Recent breakthroughs in making stem-cell based human embryo models are raising urgent questions about to what extent they should be treated like natural embryos and whether they are open to misuse.

Researchers evaluate post-implantation development in humans using embryo-like models based on genetically unmodified human naïve embryonic stem cells.

The new human embryo-like structures are the closest model yet to real ones, even secreting hormones that turned a lab pregnancy test positive.

Scientists in Israel have created a model of a human embryo from stem cells in the laboratory, without using sperm, eggs or a womb, offering a unique glimpse into the early stages of embryonic ...
