Model used to create a cellular ‘hologram’ of a mouse embryo could be used to visualize development in any species. Researchers have created the most detailed 3D cellular map yet of a mouse embryo, ...

Embryo development starts when a single egg cell is fertilized and starts dividing continuously. Initially a chaotic cluster, it gradually evolves into a highly organized structure. Scientists have ...

A new study using stem cell-based models has shed new light on how the human embryo begins to develop, which could one day benefit the development of fertility treatment. The study led by at the ...

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 ...

Since the ISSCR released its May 2021 update to the Guidelines for Stem Cell Research and Clinical Translation, research with stem cell-based embryo models has evolved rapidly. During the extensive ...

A team of researchers in the United States and the United Kingdom says they have created the world’s first synthetic human embryo-like structures from stem cells, bypassing the need for eggs and sperm ...
