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

The first few weeks of a human embryo’s development are shrouded in mystery. Researchers cannot observe embryos that are nestled away in their mother’s womb until they are large enough to be ...

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.

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 led by UCL researchers.

Researchers evaluate post-implantation development in humans using embryo-like models based on genetically unmodified human naïve embryonic stem cells.

Researchers have developed the first-ever “embryo-like model” from human embryonic stem cells, a workaround that will let them examine birth defects and diseases they couldn’t otherwise.

Long a staple of nature documentaries, the somewhat bizarre development of a grub-like pink marsupial embryo outside the mother's womb is curious in another way. Researchers have found that the ...

That's because the seventh day of development is the time when the human embryo becomes embedded within the body of the mother — when it becomes implanted in the womb. Scientists had thought embryos ...

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 ...
