Vanillin, a common flavoring chemical in e-cigarettes, may disrupt the normal development of embryos in pregnant women who ...

Stem cell-based embryo models (SCBEMs) offer new ways for studying early human development while circumventing ethical challenges associated with natural embryos. Traditionally, SCBEMs are categorised ...

UC Riverside researchers report vanillin knocks early human stem cells off course at trace doses.

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development—including the production ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute 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 ...

"Guinea pigs can become a valuable model for understanding how early disturbances in embryonic development can affect health later in life. Since guinea pig development mirrors that of humans better ...

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 ...

An international team of scientists led from Sweden's Karolinska Institutet has for the first time mapped all the genes that are activated in the first few days of a fertilized human egg. The study, ...
