In our case, a second ultrasound with the “ultrasound” Shibangu test was performed and revealed that the pregnancy was ...

Scientists have engineered an artificial womb lining, a breakthrough allowing unprecedented observation of early human embryo ...

Then researchers placed blastoids and embryos donated after infertility treatments inside the little device and watched it ...

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.

At first glance, it looks like the start of a human pregnancy: A ball-shaped embryo presses gently into the receptive lining ...

For many women undergoing fertility treatment, the biggest barrier is not embryo quality but the uterus's ability to accept and support a pregnancy. A thin or unresponsive endometrium (the innermost ...

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 small tissue fold in fly embryos, once thought purposeless, plays a vital role in stabilizing tissues. Researchers show that it absorbs stress during early development, and its position and timing ...

The placenta has long been thought to produce serotonin during pregnancy. But in a new study, Yale researchers shatter the deep-rooted hypothesis — and show that the placenta doesn’t produce serotonin ...

The use of assisted reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization is becoming more common worldwide. However, while these technologies successfully create viable embryos, a little over half of ...

A story circulating on social media this week featured a seemingly made-up scientist who is developing an equally imaginary "pregnancy robot." Virality ensued. When you purchase through links on our ...

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 ...
