In the field of regenerative medicine, one of the ultimate goals is to generate functioning organs from pluripotent cells, such as ES cells or induced pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). We have recently ...

This study is led by Prof. Lei Jin and Dr. Lixia Zhu (Reproductive Medicine Center, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology). Assisted reproductive ...

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 ...

The mechanisms that underlie early embryonic development in humans and cattle are very similar. Therefore, researchers argue that bovine embryos might well be a better model for early human ...

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 ...
