Researchers have revealed insight into why embryos erase a key epigenetic mark during early development, suggesting this may have evolved to help form a placenta. Researchers at the Francis Crick ...

Embryo development starts when a single egg cell is fertilized and starts dividing continuously. Initially a chaotic cluster, it gradually evolves into a highly organized structure. Scientists have ...

Scientists have created an embryo-like structure using monkey embryonic stem cells for the first time, part of an effort to better understand early human development and organ formation. The ...

Researchers have created human embryos by taking nuclei from ordinary skin cells, placing them into donated eggs, and ...

Mature egg cells, or oocytes, are essential for fertilization in assisted reproductive technologies. However, some 'denuded' oocytes, or those lacking the protective granulosa cell layer, fail to ...

Scientists at the Loke Centre for Trophoblast Research, University of Cambridge, said the test, used in many fertility ...

Research led by scientists from the Institute of Molecular Biology of Barcelona (IBMB) of the CSIC and the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) has managed to film how a few days-old ...
