Recurring questions, seeing and believing -- Hypothetical and observed embryos with microscopes at work -- Experimental embryos in the laboratory -- Inherited, evolved, and computed embryos -- The ...

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 - ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

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 ...

Descriptions of the embryo go back at least to the time of Aristotle, but it has only been since the late 19 th century and early 20 th century that advances in experimental approaches allowed ...

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 ...

An international team of scientists has discovered a new cellular mechanism that explains how cells can adapt to pressure changes during tissue growth by packing themselves into a unique shape.

Researchers have just unveiled a new sorting machine that could kick-start our grasp of how human life comes into being in the first few weeks. The system, created at the University of Washington in ...
