A new experimental study has found that perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a widely used industrial chemical, can interfere with ...

Researchers have captured the very first real-time, three-dimensional images and videos of a human embryo implanting into collagen designed to mimic uterine tissue —a key stage in reproduction. The ...

Researchers in Barcelona have, for the first time, recorded a human embryo embedding itself into the uterus in real time and in 3D, revealing the surprisingly forceful and invasive process that is ...

A team of scientists from China has successfully created a miniature womb on a chip that mimics the complex environment of the human uterus. The research offers a new way to study the exact moment an ...

To facilitate proper implantation, endometrial stroma cells (ESC) differentiate into decidual cells in a process known as decidualization. To visualize actin dynamics, researchers tagged actin ...

"Understanding embryo implantation and embryo development just after implantation has significant clinical relevance as these stages are particularly prone to failure," said Dr. Peter Rugg-Gunn, ...

"The motherhood penalty -- the loss in lifetime earnings experienced by women raising children -- has become the most significant driver of the gender pay gap," the ...

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 ...

Although scientists know a lot about the process of human embryo implantation, it had never been recorded in real time, until now. Now that investigators can observe it in action, they may be able to ...
