STANFORD, Calif. (KGO) -- In the Camarillo bioengineering lab at Stanford, engineers measure impacts both big and small. And that ability can help in research as far ranging as preventing concussions ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered a method of helping human stem cells thrive in an animal embryo—a key development in efforts to grow human organs in animals for medical transplants. A study by UT ...

A groundbreaking experiment transforms skin cells into egg-like cells, offering hope for infertility treatments amidst ethical considerations.

A fossilized dinosaur embryo discovered inside a fossilized egg in southern China is reshaping scientific understanding of avian evolution. Preserved for more than 70 million years and left unexamined ...

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 ...

For decades, scientists knew that male embryos in many mammal species—such as cows, mice, and even humans—tend to grow faster than female ones. But no one really knew why. The new study, published in ...

Metabolism does more than fuel embryos—it sets their developmental rhythm. EMBL researchers found that a sugar molecule, FBP, controls the pace of spine formation, suggesting metabolism may act as a ...
