High-resolution 3D womb model gives insights into embryo implantation, infertility, and signals between embryo and mother, ...

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

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

Scientists have developed an experimental way to study how human embryos implant in a uterus, which may provide new insights ...

Transposable elements are stretches of DNA that can move around the genome. Many of these DNA sequences originate from long ...

Under the microscope, MSK scientists studied how cells in a mouse embryo (green) move out and break away from their original tissue by contracting their surfaces (red). Studying this process, known as ...

A new study from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, UK reveals how ancient viral DNA once written off as ...

Despite being an essential developmental process, the understanding of human embryonic genome activation is limited, owing to the lack of in vitro cell models and ethical concerns. To advance ...

The viral transposable element, MERVL, acts as a central switch during early embryonic development, driving totipotent gene ...

Researchers have gained new insights into the mechanism behind the spatial organization of DNA within the cells of early embryos. When an embryo is first formed after fertilization, each cell has the ...
