What do the earliest stages of a pregnancy look like? Embryonic development has been extensively studied, but most of our knowledge of the earliest stages of a growing baby come from stationary ...

At this stage, known as gastrulation, a flat and featureless sheet of cells folds into a living blueprint for the body, a ...

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 ...

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 ...

The data showed there is "non-linear change across development" in the brain, suggesting it does not continue on one steady ...

Living structures that model early human embryonic development have been generated entirely from cells in the skin. The models mean it should be possible to study infertility, early miscarriage and ...

Human brains go through five distinct phases of life, each defined by its own set of characteristics, according to a new ...

Studies have revealed that brain development occurs in five main stages. The first stage, childhood, lasts from birth to ...
