Scientists have created a stem cell-derived model of the human embryo in the lab by reprogramming human stem cells. The breakthrough could help research into genetic disorders and in understanding why ...

Researchers have used stem cells to develop new human embryolike structures that model the earliest stages of fetal development so realistically that they even secrete hormones that can turn a lab ...

The new platform's ethically grounded approach promises to reveal much about how human embryos form during the earliest stages of pregnancy. It's one of life's most defining moments -- that crucial ...

Sigmund Freud developed a five-stage model of human development, each stage with its own characteristics and challenges. Not only was this a useful way of viewing our growth, but he believed that ...

Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, School of Medicine, University of Washington Embryonic development, also known as embryogenesis, is a cornerstone in understanding the origins of life ...

Our ancient past isn't always buried history. When it comes to our DNA, nearly 9% of the human genome is made up of leftover genetic material from ancient viruses (called endogenous retroviruses or ...

Scientists have created synthetic blobs that resemble a 14-day-old human embryo for the first time, meaning they can study embryo development beyond a particularly tricky period of pregnancy.

We have long believed that brain growth stops and aging begins once we pass the age of 20. However, a study by British ...

You might already know that we can awaken through exercises like meditation or self-inquiry. But did you know that we can also awaken developmentally? Many researchers now agree that what we might ...
