Scientists create a ‘mini-womb’ 3D model on a microfluidic chip which could lead to treatments for women affected by ...

Embryonic morphological development is delayed in live pregnancies ending in miscarriage, according to a prospective cohort study from the Netherlands. Among over 600 singleton pregnancies, those ...

A new study from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, UK reveals how ancient viral DNA once written off as "junk" plays a crucial role in the earliest moments of life. The research, ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Babraham Institute have ‘listened in’ to the communication between the embryo and the womb lining at the ...

Researchers have discovered a key transition in early embryonic development is facilitated by decreasing levels of a viral protein inserted into the DNA of our early animal ancestors. Researchers at ...

A new open-source software tool helps see the inside of 3D and 4D images, providing insight into embryonic mouse heart development. 3D and 4D imaging, which is 3D imaging combined with time to show ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

Study reveals that genomic nuclear speckle-associated domains (SPADs) are step-wise organized during mouse early embryogenesis, with key factors contribution in this process. Following mammalian ...
