China has become the first nation to send human artificial embryos into orbit, aiming to uncover how space conditions like microgravity and cosmic radiation could affect early human development. The ...

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 ...

Under his microscope, Jun Wu could see several tiny spheres, each less than 1 millimetre wide. They looked just like human embryos: a dark cluster of cells surrounded by a cavity, and then another ...

Could your diet before conception shape fertility and early development? New research reveals sex-specific links between ultraprocessed foods, reduced fertility in men, and subtle changes in early ...

A discovery upends decades of assumptions regarding DNA replication. The study show that DNA replication in early embryos is different from what past research has taught, and includes a period of ...
