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 ...
The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.
University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development - including the ...
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 - ...
Scientists have engineered an artificial womb lining, a breakthrough allowing unprecedented observation of early human embryo ...
From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop correctly. Two of the first physical structures to form in the embryo are ...
A stem-cell-based monkey embryo model that self-organizes into a comprehensive body plan could lead the way to more-sophisticated models of early human development. Xiangyu Kong is in the Department ...
Researchers have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four weeks after fertilization. This is ...
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...
