By engineering a system replicating the womb lining with high biological accuracy, researchers at the Babraham Institute and ...

Described in a paper in the journal Cell, the model allows scientists to study interactions between the womb and embryo, and ...

The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

Endometrial model will revolutionise what we know about embryo development during implantation, supporting our understanding of the causes of early pregnancy loss and serious pregnancy complications.

Using the fruit fly, scientists have constructed a complete and detailed single-cell map of embryo development. This research will also help scientists pursue questions like how mutations lead to ...

High-resolution 3D womb model gives insights into embryo implantation, infertility, and signals between embryo and mother, ...

As a patient at the Utah Center for Reproductive Medicine, you can expect to receive the highest quality of care for your IVF treatment. Before you begin IVF, you will go through a fertility ...

As you age, your fertility slowly declines. By freezing eggs or embryos when you’re young (usually under the age of 40), you can preserve your eggs’ health and, through in vitro fertilization (IVF), ...
