There is variability in when and how cells divide during the development of embryos. While researchers traditionally believed this variability was an obstacle that needed to be regulated, the Hiiragi ...

The journey started with an enigma in the zebrafish embryo: some endothelial cells, actively involved in the initial stages ...

The two cells that make up a one-day-old human embryo might look identical at first glance. But a study 1 published today shows that most of the human body forms from only one of those cells — a ...

The beginning of life is shrouded in mystery. While the intricate dynamics of mitosis is well-studied in the so-called somatic cells – the cells that have a specialized function, like skin and muscle ...

As nearly one in six couples experience fertility issues, in-vitro fertilization (IVF) is an increasingly common form of reproductive technology. However, there are still many unanswered scientific ...

The team placed blastocysts—embryos 5-6 days after fertilization that were donated following IVF procedures—onto the ...

An artificial intelligence (AI) model has been developed that can predict the process of cell division and arrangement on a ...

Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), used CRISPR to engineer cellular models of embryos that mimic what happens in the first few days after reproductive cells meet. These ...

Scientists are using AI to better predict embryo health in real time. Embryologists are the scientists behind the scenes of in vitro fertilization who oversee the development and selection of embryos, ...

A groundbreaking experiment transforms skin cells into egg-like cells, offering hope for infertility treatments amidst ...
