Endometriosis is a common, debilitating chronic disease that affects more than 190 million women worldwide. Early diagnosis remains a major clinical and health policy challenge. The average time to di...
Researchers have discovered that a DNA modification called 5-formylcytosine (5fC) acts as an activating epigenetic switch that triggers genes in early embryonic development. This discovery shows that ...
Research conducted by doctoral student Bohan Chen in the laboratory of Idse Heemskerk at the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of Michigan Medical School and his colleague...
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac that replicates the development of the tissues that support the embryo two to four week...
Approximately 15 percent of all couples of childbearing age are involuntarily childless. An important reason why so many people rely on artificial insemination is that more and more couples are postpo...
Researchers at the University of Adelaide have used cameras designed for quantum measurements to image embryos for the first time. Scientists at the university's Centre of Light for Life investigated ...
A groundbreaking study shows that bacterial vaginosis (BV), a condition that affects nearly one-third of women worldwide and leads to infertility, premature birth, and neonatal mortality, is in fact a...
An international research team led by Helmholtz Munich has gained detailed insights into how the spatial organization of genetic material in the cell nucleus of early embryos develops within the first...
