Recurring questions, seeing and believing -- Hypothetical and observed embryos with microscopes at work -- Experimental embryos in the laboratory -- Inherited, evolved, and computed embryos -- The ...

A remarkable new microscope built by EMBL researchers allows scientists to observe the dynamics of mechanical properties inside developing embryos in real time. In 1922, French physicist Léon ...

Under the microscope, MSK scientists studied how cells in a mouse embryo (green) move out and break away from their original tissue by contracting their surfaces (red). Studying this process, known as ...

Research shows how the curved shape of a zebrafish egg sets cell division timing, gene activation, and early cell fate ...

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

Scientists have developed an experimental way to study how human embryos implant in a uterus, which may provide new insights ...

Science now points to the very thing that can predict whether you'll get pregnant, as research looks at the molecules in ...

Prof. Takashi Hiiragi (Hubrecht Institute), Dr. Robert Prevedel (European Molecular Biology Laboratory), and Dr. Lukas Krainer (Prospective Instruments) have launched an interdisciplinary ...

Some newly reported clumps of cells growing in lab dishes have been hailed as the closest things to human embryos that scientists have ever made in the lab. These entities are human embryo models — ...

Then researchers placed blastoids and embryos donated after infertility treatments inside the little device and watched it ...
