The Chinese Academy of Sciences has announced an amazing and potentially controversial new project to test the development of ...

Chinese researchers sent artificial human embryo models into space to study how microgravity may affect early human ...

China has become the first nation to send human artificial embryos into orbit, aiming to uncover how space conditions like ...

Embryo-like structures were sent onboard the Chinese space station and will spend five days in low-earth orbit. There are a number of things we take for granted here on Planet Earth that are ...

The team observed the emergence of the three-dimensional embryo-like structures under a microscope in the lab. These started producing blood (seen here in red) after around two weeks of development - ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

The first few days of a human embryo’s development, known as pre-implantation, are important. It’s when the first cells are formed, and these decide if the embryo can survive, how it will implant in ...

Successful fertility treatments, including in vitro fertilization (IVF), is often reliant on a clear understanding of developmental stages of human development. Clinicians working with assisted ...

Researchers reveal that the guinea pig pre-implantation embryo is very similar to the human embryo, spurring a better understanding of infertility and early human development. CRCHUM researcher Sophie ...
