Molecular studies have begun to unravel the sequential cell–cell signalling events that establish the dorsal–ventral, or 'back-to-belly', axis of vertebrate animals. In Xenopus and zebrafish ...

The embryo-like structures developed normally outside of a womb for eight days, reaching a developmental stage equivalent to day 14 in human embryonic development, the point at which natural ...

Morphogens are the secreted molecules that pattern embryonic tissues. These molecules are important not only for the embryo during development, but also for the adult during tissue repair. However ...

Recent breakthroughs in making stem-cell based human embryo models are raising urgent questions about to what extent they should be treated like natural embryos and whether they are open to misuse.

Embryo vs. Fetus: Fetal Development Week-by-Week. Medically reviewed by Valinda Riggins Nwadike, MD, MPH — Written by Ashley Marcin — Updated on April 12, 2023. Zygote; Embryo vs. fetus; ...

[1/5] PhD student, Mehmet Yunus Comar, looks at a model of an early-stage human embryo, created by Israeli scientists without using an egg, sperm or womb, offering a glimpse into the first weeks ...

Human embryo replicas have gotten more complex. Here’s what you need to know. The lab-engineered models give scientists a look at human development beyond the first week ...

Scientists have created synthetic blobs that resemble a 14-day-old human embryo for the first time, meaning they can study embryo development beyond a particularly tricky period of pregnancy.

Screenshots from the first real-time video of early embryonic development. Fluorescent markers were used to show the movement of the filaments inside embryonic cells.

A team of researchers in the United States and United Kingdom say they have created the world’s first synthetic human embryo-like structures from stem cells, bypassing the need for eggs and sperm.
