Now, scientists have illuminated early gastrulation of marmoset embryos in utero using spatial transcriptomics and stem cell-based embryo models.

In new research, scientists grew mouse embryos to half term in an artificial womb. The milestone is equivalent to a human embryo at five weeks development. Early pregnancy and implantation are ...

Researchers at Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science developed a new method to observe the first stages of embryonic development: growing mouse embryos in bottles. The idea of growing embryos outside ...

Pioneering work has helped reveal for the first time a vital process in the development of the early mammalian embryo.

When an embryo comes in contact with the lining of the womb, chemical signals are exchanged that allows the cells of the embryo to invade the womb and, eventually, connect with the mother’s ...

Analyzing embryo movements in uteruslike environments could offer clues to improving the success rate of in vitro fertilization ...

This restriction has inevitably limited research into the crucial stage of development when the embryo would implant in to the womb if it was in a body.

Physical cues in the womb, and not just genetics, influence the normal development of neural crest cells, the embryonic stem cells that form facial features, finds a new study.
