In a nutshell Recycled plastic pellets from India, Nigeria, and Taiwan leaked 84 different chemicals into water, including ...

Bangkok — Scientists have developed human embryo-like structures without using sperm, an egg or fertilization, offering hope for research on miscarriage and birth defects but also raising fresh ...

The embryo models included a placenta, a yolk sac, an outer membrane called the chorionic sac and other cellular structures one would see in human embryos of approximately the same age.

Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s … genetic optimization? Prospective parents using in vitro fertilization (IVF) will soon be able to select embryos based on their potential risk for ...

A Georgia woman, who gave birth to and raised a baby boy for months, filed a lawsuit Tuesday against a fertility clinic claiming it implanted the wrong embryo in her, resulting in her giving birth ...

REHOVOT, Israel, Sept 7 (Reuters) - Scientists in Israel have created a model of a human embryo from stem cells in the laboratory, without using sperm, eggs or a womb, offering a unique glimpse ...

As the embryo develops, it makes stem cells that the scientists can collect and grow in the lab. The technique dates back to the 1960s, when John Gurdon at Oxford University cloned a frog using ...

The authors started with stem cells isolated from monkey embryos that were just a few days old. Stem cells have the potential to turn into any and all body cell types and theoretically can be used ...

Four teams have coaxed human stem cells to organize themselves into embryo-like forms. The advance could shed light on fertility. By Carl Zimmer In its first week, a fertilized human egg develops ...

Scientists have learned to efficiently manufacture realistic models of 4- to 7-day-old human embryos from stem cells.

The experiments mark the first time fully synthetic mouse embryos — without the use of sperm or eggs — have been grown outside the womb.
