Scientists have officially grown a notochord—the tissues that act as the “GPS for the developing embryo” by guiding the ...

Missing link in stem cell research finally created after decades of attempts LONDON — Scientists have achieved a major ...

A stem-cell derived human embryo model showing blue cells (embryo), yellow cells (yolk sac) and pink cells (placenta). Scientists have grown an entity that closely resembles an early human embryo ...

The little clump of cells looked almost like a human embryo. Created from stem cells, without eggs, sperm, or a womb, the ...

Human embryo clones have become a "holy grail" in the scientific community because the embryos contain stem cells, which can be used to create virtually any human tissue. They are potentially ...

Scientists have generated human stem cell models which contain notochord -- a tissue in the developing embryo that acts like a navigation system, directing cells where to build the spine and nervous ...

Editor's note: The author was a member of the National Institutes of Health's Human Embryo Research Panel in the mid-1990s. The panel recommended ethical guidelines for all future federally funded ...

MPs had been debating the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill, which would allow regulated research using hybrid or 'admix' embryos, where the nuclei of human cells are inserted into animal eggs.

After years of trial and error, scientists have finally done something incredible: They have successfully grown human stem cells in a pig embryo. Why would anyone do this? Turns out, many ...

We are bodily beings – living human organisms – even if, for believers, the organism does include a spiritual dimension. All of us can look back on the embryo - however created and with ...

Here are 10 words that entered our vocabulary this year, capturing discoveries at the cutting edge of science, elusive emotions and the various ways technology is changing our lives ...

Researchers have made a significant advancement in studying early human development by successfully creating a lab-grown notochord, a key structural component in vertebrates. This model, based on a ...
