The earliest stage of human embryo development—known as pre-implantation—is a critical window. During this phase, the first cells form, setting the stage for the embryo’s viability, implantation in ...

This collection welcomes original research on the molecular basis of embryonic development. Human embryonic development begins with a single fertilized egg and involves complex processes regulated at ...

Researchers have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four weeks after fertilization. This is ...

Researchers reveal that the guinea pig pre-implantation embryo is very similar to the human embryo, spurring a better understanding of infertility and early human development. CRCHUM researcher Sophie ...

Statements in English by Samuel Ojosnegros Martos, Principal Investigator of the Bioengineering for Reproductive Health Group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), and leader of the ...

A recent study in Advanced Science presents a method for studying early human embryology by bioprinting epiblast-like structures from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). The model forms a ...

The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) has submitted a formal response to a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) regarding its pause on new ...
