The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how a humble single cell becomes an organism fascinates scientists across ...

Scientists have created the first detailed day-by-day map of human embryo development using single-cell technology.

Researchers have developed a method for culturing fertilized chick eggs without their shells. The eggs were placed in an artificial culture vessel made of transparent film, allowing for real-time ...

The embryo-like model could help scientists test new drugs, create stem cells for transplants and research blood disorders ...

Human skin cells have been used to produce fertilizable eggs in a proof-of-concept study that heralds a potential new ...

When planning a trip, it's rare that you don't have a choice of route. One may be more direct, another more scenic; but regardless of the time or route taken, the destination is the same. This concept ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that ...

US scientists testing the technique say it could help people overcome infertility and potentially allow same-sex couples to have a genetically related child.

Tsukuba, Japan—Efforts to observe chicken embryonic development date back to Aristotle date back to 300 BC. However, because the chicken's eggshell is opaque, it has been necessary to break the shell ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...
