Scientists have created synthetic blobs that resemble a 14-day-old human embryo for the first time, meaning they can study embryo development beyond a particularly tricky period of pregnancy.

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 production ...

A lot happens in the first month of human embryo development as a single cell morphs into multitudes. Yet despite its significance, this period is basically a “black box” to researchers, says stem ...

Embryology is the discipline concerned with the study of embryogenesis, the development of the embryo from a fertilised egg cell. Findings in embryology have helped in the understanding of congenital ...

The use of a precise gene editing technique to edit human embryos has caught the attention of academics and society, yet doubts over its safety and ethics remain. View on euronews ...

A research team headed by Prof. Jacob Hanna at the Weizmann Institute of Science has created complete models of human embryos from stem cells cultured in the lab—and managed to grow them outside the ...
