One of the most common scenarios women come across when opting for in-vitro fertilization (IVF) is that in which they develop multiple pregnancies. A team of experts in the United Kingdom recently managed to develop a technique that increases IVF success rates and reduces multiple pregnancies.The University of Cambri... |

A group of researchers studying human embryos during a phase of the development process called cleavage stage embryo determined that the three-day-old structure was capable of undergoing a process called genetic normalization. When conceived from a fertilized egg, an embryo can be produced with an incorrect number of... |

Though numerous studies have been conducted on animal embryos over the years, experts have failed to grasp the full complexity of the mechanisms at work in creating a new individual of a certain species. A new study brings that a little bit closer to reality. The work was focused on embryos, the undeveloped stage tha... |

After over 30 years of sitting in collections, a few extremely well-preserved dinosaur eggs containing the oldest embryos of any land-dwelling vertebrate ever found, gave new insight into the development and growth of early dinosaurs.They were found in 1976 in South Africa, and they are 190 million years old, dating ... |

People now know that the actions would-be mother take during pregnancy have a direct influence on how their baby turns out. But, while these correlations have been studied heavily in humans, experts have thus far paid little attention to what happens in the animal world. A team of investigators from the Virginia Inst... |

A collaboration of investigators from the United States announces a major breakthrough in imaging technologies used for a variety of medical applications. The group learned how to use optical-coherence tomography (OCT) to image the heart of fetuses inside their mothers' wombs, even before the small organs begin ... |

In a groundbreaking, new study, it has been revealed that rocking mice embryos while they grow boosts in-vitro fertilization (IVF) success rates by more than 20 percent. This has led the team behind the study to conclude that the same type of treatment new parents apply to small children is beneficial to embryos as w... |

For the first time in more than ten years, scientists in the United States will finally have access to embryonic stem cells. These cells, which are the first ones to divide inside a new organism, have the ability to differentiate into any type of other cells in the body easily, and, as such, hold great promise for tr... |

Scientists from the Wake Forest University School of Medicine have recently announced the successful use of a new, small peptide to efficiently stop the growth of lung cancer tumor cells. Their paper also reveals that the small molecule also had the strength of setting the tumor into remission, reducing its size cons... |

Finding sources of stem cells is not exactly easy in most countries, considering the fact that the best research can be conducted using embryonic cells, which are naturally derived from viable human embryos. This, obviously, raises some ethical questions, therefore experts have been searching for alternatives for a l... |

Turtles are very peculiar animals altogether, researchers have learned over the years. In addition to their queer and unique body structure, they are also very difficult to analyze in terms of origins, and scientists have debated which is the closest relative to the shelled creature for a long time. While some say th... |

Experts at the Harvard University and the Massachusetts-based enterprise Advanced Cell Technology Inc. have recently announced the fact that they've managed to create a new method of obtaining powerful embryonic stem cells, without needing an actual viable embryo. The new technique revolves around using pure hum... |

Researchers are currently trying to determine if it's feasible and possible to produce synthetic blood from embryonic stem cells. While stem cell research is heavily criticized by some and strongly supported by others, doctors say that obtaining such blood is absolutely necessary, given the fact that less and le... |

Two teams of researchers from the UK and Canada have discovered a new way of obtaining stem cells from nothing more than regular skin cells, and a few genes, which they manipulate so as to trigger the desired change in the cells. After the process, the obtained structural units behave exactly like embryonic stem ones... |

Once fertility treatments are completed, many embryos remain frozen, a byproduct of women's treatment options, which include the possibility of preserving eggs if regular therapies fail. The logic behind this is for patients to be able to have children, even if through in-vitro fertilization. But most women have... |
