Researchers have mapped the complex molecular interactions that occur during the earliest stages of human development. New international research shines a light on the role of transcription factors ...

A team of researchers from the University of Aberdeen has uncovered, for the first time, how genes linked to autism 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 ...

Scientists have developed an experimental way to study how human embryos implant in a uterus, which may provide new insights into why miscarriages occur and how they can be prevented.

This article explores how single-cell multiomics and spatial transcriptomics are illuminating early pregnancy, uncovering ...

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

Scientists have grown a scalable new embryo-like model that unshrouds some mysteries of early human development, including blood cell formation, or hematopoiesis—a first for the field. In an article ...

Bangkok — Scientists have developed human embryo-like structures without using sperm, an egg or fertilization, offering hope for research on miscarriage and birth defects but also raising fresh ...

Schizophrenia is a severe neuropsychiatric disease that remains poorly understood and treated. Schizophrenia onset is typically in adolescence or early adulthood, but its underlying causes are thought ...

Constructed image from spatial transcriptomics slides measuring gene expression in tissues. This shows the developing upper limb, including the developing hand and digits. Each spot represents a ...
