An international team of experts in embryology and bioethics has published the first white paper on the use of embryonic models based on stem cells in the field of reproductive biology. The document, ...

The team observed the emergence of the three-dimensional embryo-like structures under a microscope in the lab. These started producing blood (seen here in red) after around two weeks of development - ...

Chinese researchers sent artificial human embryo models into space to study how microgravity may affect early human development.

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...

Successful fertility treatments, including in vitro fertilization (IVF), is often reliant on a clear understanding of developmental stages of human development. Clinicians working with assisted ...

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 ...

The Chinese Academy of Sciences has announced an amazing and potentially controversial new project to test the development of "artificial human embryos" in space. What is an artificial human embryo?

Could your diet before conception shape fertility and early development? New research reveals sex-specific links between ultraprocessed foods, reduced fertility in men, and subtle changes in early ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development—including the production ...
