Researchers have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four weeks after fertilization. This is ...

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 - ...

A recent study in Advanced Science presents a method for studying early human embryology by bioprinting epiblast-like structures from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). The model forms a ...

Researchers at the Babraham Institute have ‘listened in’ to the communication between the embryo and the womb lining at the ...
