Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed a method for culturing fertilized chick eggs without their shells. The eggs were placed in an artificial culture vessel made of transparent film, ...

Scientists have developed a new method that can manipulate the movement of embryonic cells using short-time attractors. As embryos grow from conception to birth, cells multiply rapidly and move in a ...

Scientists have discovered a method of helping human stem cells thrive in an animal embryo—a key development in efforts to grow human organs in animals for medical transplants. A study by UT ...

Researchers from Karolinska Institutet and Maastricht University have developed a technique that enables the examination of embryos for all known genetic abnormalities with a single test. The new ...

A test deployed in many fertility clinics to assess the viability of embryos for use in IVF is likely to overestimate the number of embryos with abnormalities, suggests a study published today. Using ...

Australian study of 18,396 first IVF cycles finds 95.3% single embryo transfers and just 2.9% multiple births Advances in in ...

Scientists have discovered that the cells of early human embryos are often unable to repair damage to their DNA. The researchers say that this has important implications for the proposed use of gene ...
