A research team led by Associate Professor Hirofumi Nishizono and graduate student Masaki Kato from the Research Support ...

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 work appears in Cell. "Understanding embryo implantation and embryo development just after implantation has significant clinical relevance as these stages are particularly prone to failure," said ...

Biological processes depend on puzzle pieces coming together and interacting. Under specific conditions, these interactions can create something new without external input. This is called ...

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

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 - ...

Researchers reveal that the guinea pig pre-implantation embryo is very similar to the human embryo, spurring a better understanding of infertility and early human development. CRCHUM researcher Sophie ...

Descriptions of the embryo go back at least to the time of Aristotle, but it has only been since the late 19 th century and early 20 th century that advances in experimental approaches allowed ...

Scientists can now create realistic human embryo models in the lab, leading some to suggest that we rethink how we legally define an embryo. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
