Researchers at the Center for Embryology and Healthy Development (CRESCO) aim to find out why so many early embryos fail in ...

Vaping during pregnancy is becoming more common, but its impact on early human development is not well understood. A new ...

Scientists used CRISPR technology to create embryo-like structures, or embryoids, from stem cells. These programmable models ...

Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists were able to create 'programmable' cellular models of embryos without ever experimenting ...

“I was always interested in how cells decide their fate,” Zernicka-Goetz said. In the mouse developing embryo, she previously demonstrated a bias at the two-cell stage: one cell contributed more to ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

Defective compaction prevents the formation of the structure that ensures the embryo can implant in the uterus. In assisted reproductive technology (ART), this stage is carefully monitored before ...

Researchers have discovered that the earliest days of embryo development have a measurable impact on a person's future health and aging.

Oxytocin, a hormone linked to bonding behaviors, might also help mice modulate their pregnancies. Someday, this line of ...
