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 ...
Over the past year or two, we have been exploring what we termed the origins—or the embryology—of human development. We examined the three pillars of development: Feelings (Affects), Language, and ...

Researchers have captured the very first real-time, three-dimensional images and videos of a human embryo implanting into synthetic uterine tissue—revealing a key stage in reproduction. The resulting ...
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 ...
A lot happens in the first month of human embryo development as a single cell morphs into multitudes. Yet despite its significance, this period is basically a “black box” to researchers, says stem ...
Ancient viruses are embedded everywhere in the human genome. Estimates range, but it's thought that about eight percent of the human genome could be made up of these ancient retroviruses, which are ...
Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, School of Medicine, University of Washington Embryonic development, also known as embryogenesis, is a cornerstone in understanding the origins of life ...
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 production ...
