For decades, scientists have struggled to study this moment in humans because of ethical restrictions and limited access to ...

A team of scientists from China has successfully created a miniature womb on a chip that mimics the complex environment of ...

Researchers have captured the very first real-time, three-dimensional images and videos of a human embryo implanting into collagen designed to mimic uterine tissue —a key stage in reproduction. The ...

A team of scientists has just gotten a closer peek into one of the earliest and most fundamental steps of creating a human life. Research out today highlights how they captured—for the first ...

To facilitate proper implantation, endometrial stroma cells (ESC) differentiate into decidual cells in a process known as decidualization. To visualize actin dynamics, researchers tagged actin ...

A new study shows that the embryo and the uterine lining conduct an active "conversation" from the very earliest stages of implantation. They engage in a back and forth of tiny packages called ...

Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) in collaboration with the Dexeus University Hospital have captured unparalleled images of a human embryo implanting. This is the ...

New research reveals how two genes in the uterus control embryo implantation during IVF. This discovery may explain repeated ...

"The motherhood penalty -- the loss in lifetime earnings experienced by women raising children -- has become the most significant driver of the gender pay gap," the ...

A system which replicates the womb lining (endometrium) with high biological fidelity has been developed by researchers at the Babraham Institute and used to listen in to the communication that ...

A 3D uterus embryo implantation simulation chip developed by a Chinese research team has, for the first time, fully replicated the entire process of human embryo implantation in a laboratory setting, ...
