Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

A USC Stem Cell-led research team has achieved a major step forward in the effort to build mouse and human synthetic kidneys.

In a quiet lab at Cornell University, scientists have made a discovery that could reshape how we think about life’s earliest stages. Researchers found that male and female embryos begin developing ...

Primary cilia play a powerful role in how cells sense their surroundings. They help guide embryo development and ensure ...

Chinese scientists have succeeded in growing kidneys containing human cells in pig embryos, a world first that could one day help address organ donation shortages. But the finding, published Thursday ...

Although scientists know a lot about the process of human embryo implantation, it had never been recorded in real time, until now. Now that investigators can observe it in action, they may be able to ...

Aug. 11 (UPI) --A team of Spanish researchers announced Friday they have for the first time recorded video of a human embryo implanting itself in a simulated uterine wall, revealing never-before-seen ...

At WIRED Health 2025, Orchid CEO Noor Siddiqui and genomics pioneer George Church laid out their view of the future of ...

For decades, scientists knew that male embryos in many mammal species—such as cows, mice, and even humans—tend to grow faster than female ones. But no one really knew why. The new study, published in ...

Cornell researchers have uncovered the genetic triggers that cause male and female bovine embryos to develop differently, as ...
