UCSF’s Program in Craniofacial Biology (PCB) brings together researchers to study the cellular and molecular mechanisms ...

But tools using AI such as machine learning have been shown to help doctors select the embryos that have the best chance of ...

Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious initiative to chart how the many types of brain cells emerge and mature ...

Embryonic stem cells are powerful tools for understanding how organisms develop and how tissues regenerate. These cells have the remarkable ability to self ...

Catholics on social media have been sounding the alarm on a chilling new trend: turning embryos into jewelry. Embryos — frozen children — who are no longer wanted by a family are literally killed to ...

Stem cells are precursors of a variety of different cells: They can turn into anything from blood to bone to muscle. Human blood stem cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells, are the forerunners of ...

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 - ...

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 ...

Baby Thaddeus Pierce began as a embryo that was frozen for more than 30 years. He holds the record for developing from the longest-frozen embryo known to result in a live birth. His mom was 4 and his ...

Research suggests that ancient viral DNA embedded in the human genome is playing a key role in early embryo development. Around 8% of our genome consists of endogenous retrovirus DNA — the remnants of ...

Scientists have used human skin cells to create fertilizable eggs capable of producing early embryos, an advance that could expand possibilities for fertility treatment, according to new research. The ...

An ancient skull unearthed in China’s Hubei Province may push back the emergence of the human species by 400,000 years Peerapon Boonyakiat/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty A human skull found in 1990 ...
