A gene that turns on very early in embryonic development could be key to the formation of the placenta, which provides the ...

The work is the first to report on the key role of the TLK2 gene in mouse embryo development. The study solidifies an important role for both TLK1 and TLK2 in genome stability. A massive genomics ...

Our understanding of human placenta formation just deepened with the discovery of a gene essential to early embryonic ...

I am not the first person who has considered composing poetry to the placenta. One writer begins: “Oh Lady Placenta! What a life you lived in magenta.” Another almost coos to the “constant companion, ...

As nearly one in six couples experience fertility issues, in-vitro fertilization (IVF) is an increasingly common form of ...

HONOLULU — The risk for placenta accreta is 3 times higher in pregnancies achieved with in vitro fertilization using frozen embryo transfer than in those using fresh embryos, according to a new study.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a cell culture test to detect substances that are directly or indirectly harmful to embryos. Based on an existing test used for developing new drugs and ...

Cellular aggregates derived from human stem cells in previous studies could not be considered genuinely accurate human embryo models, because they lacked nearly all the defining hallmarks of a ...

With the increasing acceptance of blastocyst transfer technologies, more attention is being paid to the selection of ...
