A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in ...

The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller ...

Researchers have created a replica of womb lining or endometrium which allowed them to study the implantation of human embryos — process that signals start of a pregnancy. Described in a paper in the ...

Molecular mechanism uncovered in mice by UC Santa Cruz researchers reveals how a father’s diet, stress, and other ...

Researchers at the Babraham Institute have ‘listened in’ to the communication between the embryo and the womb lining at the ...

"Understanding embryo implantation and embryo development just after implantation has significant clinical relevance as these stages are particularly prone to failure," said Dr. Peter Rugg-Gunn, ...

A system which replicates the womb lining (endometrium) with high biological fidelity has been developed by researchers at the Babraham Institute and used to listen in to the communication that ...

Described in a paper in the journal Cell, the model allows scientists to study interactions between the womb and embryo, and look for causes behind implantation failure -- a main reason for early ...
