What do the earliest stages of a pregnancy look like? Embryonic development has been extensively studied, but most of our knowledge of the earliest stages of a growing baby come from stationary ...

Human brains go through five distinct phases of life, each defined by its own set of characteristics, according to a new ...

For the first time, scientists have used human cells to make structures that mimic the earliest stages of development, which they say will pave the way for more research without running afoul of ...

A gene that turns on very early in embryonic development could be key to the formation of the placenta, which provides the ...

For the first time, scientists have used human cells to make structures that mimic the earliest stages of development, which they say will pave the way for more research without running afoul of ...

Researchers have very limited opportunities to study the earliest stages of human development, but a groundbreaking discovery led by a team in Australia will now provide them with a valuable new model ...

Researchers have mapped the complex molecular interactions that occur during the earliest stages of human development. New international research shines a light on the role of transcription factors ...

Study maps five major eras of brain wiring from birth to old age, revealing the key turning points that shape how we learn, ...

The most advanced lab-made human embryo models look like the real thing — they resemble, though don't perfectly replicate, natural embryos about 14 days into development. These lab-made embryo models ...

LONDON (Reuters) - Scientists have used human embryonic stem cells to create an embryo-like research model to help them study some of the earliest stages of human development. The model overcomes some ...

Scientists have created synthetic blobs that resemble a 14-day-old human embryo for the first time, meaning they can study embryo development beyond a particularly tricky period of pregnancy.
