Two to three weeks after conception, an embryo faces a critical point in its development. In the stage known as gastrulation, the transformation of embryonic cells into specialized cells begins. This ...

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.

University of Pittsburgh researchers have developed a new embryo-like model derived from adult cells that replicates key features of early human development, including the generation of blood cells.

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

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

A human embryo-like model was successfully developed by a group of scientists at the California Institute of Technology, led by renowned biologist Madalena Zernicka-Goetz. The model replicates the ...

When Berna Sozen, PhD, assistant professor of Developmental Stem Cell Biology at Yale, was in her first weeks of pregnancy, she couldn’t help but wonder about what exactly was going on in the “black ...

A recent Nature study evaluates post-implantation development in humans using embryo-like models based on genetically unmodified human naïve embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Study: Complete human day 14 ...

Researchers have used naïve pluripotent stem cells to create an embryo model that looks and acts like a natural human embryo. They say it’s an ethical way of gaining a better understanding of ...

The first organized stem cell culture model that resembles all three sections of the embryonic brain and spinal cord, and produces a full model of the early stages of the human central nervous system, ...

HeX-Embryoid model showing early blood cells (green) that have formed inside of blood vessels (red) surrounded by yolk sac mesoderm cells (blue) that support these tissues. University of Pittsburgh ...
