Early lab work shows reprogrammed skin cells can yield embryos, hinting at future infertility solutions but raising safety questions that demand more study. Infertility affects millions of people ...

The soil roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans has just 959 cells and a body that is mostly gut and reproductive organs. Yet its reproduction is similar enough to ours that scientists like Francis McNally ...

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 ...

What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and ...

Scientists used light to control how a starfish egg cell jiggles and moves during its earliest stage of development. Their optical system could guide the design of synthetic, light-activated cells for ...

Researchers have combined two microscopic imaging techniques in one microscope, providing scientists with a high-resolution method of tracking single molecules in a cellular context. The development ...
