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

The model allows scientists to study interactions between the womb and embryo, and look for causes behind implantation ...

Embryos and the uterus exchange molecular signals within the first hour, shaping whether implantation succeeds or fails.

Scientists captured first real-time 3D video of human embryo implantation, revealing mechanical forces behind successful ...

A new study from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, UK reveals how ancient viral DNA once written off as ...

From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop ...

A new study shows that the embryo and the uterine lining conduct an active "conversation" from the very earliest stages of ...

Transposable elements are stretches of DNA that can move around the genome. Many of these DNA sequences originate from long ...

A new study shows embryos and the uterus exchange extracellular vesicles, lipids, and signals that shape early pregnancy ...

By engineering a system replicating the womb lining with high biological accuracy, researchers at the Babraham Institute and ...

Around eight days after fertilization, the human embryo implants in the endometrium (the tissue that lines the uterus). After implantation, it enters a developmental phase that is not well understood ...

The majority of fertilized eggs die and are resorbed into the body. ZEISS Microscopy/Flickr, CC BY-SA As an evolutionary biologist whose career has focused on how embryos develop in a wide variety of ...
