Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

This workshop explored the state of the science of mammalian embryo model systems, including nonhuman primate and human models. The goal was to begin with an overview of the developments that have set ...

Scientists have grown a human embryo-like structure in a lab which replicates very early human development - including the production of blood stem cells. The lab-grown embryo model could help ...

A new experimental study has found that perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a widely used industrial chemical, can interfere with ...

"Understanding embryo implantation and embryo development just after implantation has significant clinical relevance as these stages are particularly prone to failure," said Dr. Peter Rugg-Gunn, ...
