In a study of early embryonic development in primates, an international research team under the leadership of Berthold ...

About two-thirds of embryos created during in vitro fertilisation (IVF) inexplicably stop growing – and scientists may be starting to understand why. The discovery gives some hints as to how such ...

Scientists have evaluated the adverse effects of blastocyst shrinkage on the reproductive outcomes of frozen-thawed embryo transfer. The effect was evident in embryos with morphologically ...

Innovative research, presented today at the ESHRE 40 th Annual Meeting in Amsterdam, has introduced a novel 3D imaging model designed to identify features of blastocysts – the early stage of ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . The 3D imaging model achieved more than 90% accuracy in identifying blastocyst features. Blastocyst overall ...

Newly created “blastoids” could give scientists a faster and simpler way to research embryonic development than using fertilized human eggs. Made of human stem cells, these blastoids are the most ...

Scientists have created hollow spheres of cells that resemble human embryos in their earliest stages of development. The artificial embryos, called "blastoids," could allow scientists to study early ...

The first steps of human development—those that occur within the first few weeks of pregnancy—remain mysterious in many ways. Within a week of fertilization, human embryos form a blastocyst, which ...
