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 ...

Despite being an essential developmental process, the understanding of human embryonic genome activation is limited, owing to the lack of in vitro cell models and ethical concerns. To advance ...

Infections particular to our genome may have helped drive human-specific traits — plus, using heat to power DNA computers.

Researchers have used naïve pluripotent stem cells to create an embryo model that looks and acts like a natural human embryo. They say it’s an ethical way of gaining a better understanding of ...

US scientists testing the technique say it could help people overcome infertility and potentially allow same-sex couples to ...

A recent Nature study evaluates post-implantation development in humans using embryo-like models based on genetically unmodified human naïve embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Study: Complete human day 14 ...

Scientists have managed to create synthetic human embryo models without using egg, sperm or womb, in a feat that could impact research on fertility, tissue growth and drug testing, as well as improve ...

Scientists have developed functional eggs from ordinary human skin cells, a proof of concept that could open up new ways to ...

Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have successfully transformed human skin cells into egg cells, ...

The technique, still in its early stages, could eventually help people facing age, illness, or same-sex infertility become ...

In a proof-of-concept experiment, scientists demonstrated that you can create and fertilize human eggs in the lab using sperm ...
