Dr Jitesh Neupane discusses his hematoids model and opportunities to study childhood blood disorders and future stem cell therapies.

6 core challenges that researchers must consider as the race to create models that are ever closer to real human embryos heats up.

The discovery of a gene essential to early embryonic development sheds light on the preliminary stages of human placenta formation. A team led by scientists from the University of California San Diego ...

Stem cells are precursors of a variety of different cells: They can turn into anything from blood to bone to muscle. Human blood stem cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells, are the forerunners of ...

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 ...

Descriptions of the embryo go back at least to the time of Aristotle, but it has only been since the late 19 th century and early 20 th century that advances in experimental approaches allowed ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...

Only about one out of three conceptions leads to birth. 1 Approximately a third of embryos fail to attach to the uterus, while another third is lost after the embryo implants. “Human reproduction is ...

Scientists have gotten an unprecedented look at how the human embryo implants in a uterus. They did this by creating very primitive, womb-like environments in the lab. "This is really important work ...
