Scientists used stem cells to create a model of an embryo in the lab without sperm or egg. The model embryo released the same hormones that trigger positive pregnancy tests. Researchers hope to use ...

Scientists announce to have grown human egg cells to full maturity in the lab in a potential breakthrough for fertility treatment.

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

A lot happens in the first month of human embryo development as a single cell morphs into multitudes. Yet despite its significance, this period is basically a “black box” to researchers, says stem ...

Although embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have been successfully derived from mice and rats, efforts to establish chimeric and germline-competent ESC lines in species beyond rodents have been unsuccessful.

The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller ...

More successful IVF, egg cells from men, and sperm cells from women? Biotech researchers aim to greatly expand reproductive opportunity. WATCH: New infertility technologies could make the previously ...
