Some newly reported clumps of cells growing in lab dishes have been hailed as the closest things to human embryos that scientists have ever made in the lab. These entities are human embryo models — ...

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.

IRVINE, Calif. (KABC) -- Natalia and Randall Bergman estimate they've spent between $30,000 and $50,000 in their efforts to become pregnant. They said they decided to transfer their viable embryos ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

For years, my husband Rob has been asking what my plan is for the five embryos that we have saved and stored in Pennsylvania. I say my plan because, if it was up to him, I imagine we would have ...

With embryolike constructs built entirely from stem cells, researchers can revolutionize our understanding of development. But how close to an embryo is too close? In April, researchers in China ...

Scientists can now create realistic human embryo models in the lab, leading some to suggest that we rethink how we legally define an embryo. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

The world has now learned of a surprising scientific advance: so-called “synthetic embryos.” Their arrival promises to reveal to medicine previously hidden glimpses into problems of early pregnancy.

Frozen embryos are filling storage banks around the world. It's a struggle to know what to do with them. Lisa Holligan already had two children when she decided to try for another baby. Her first two ...

The embryos were created in 1994, while the expectant father was still a toddler, and donated via a Christian “embryo adoption” agency. A baby boy born over the weekend holds the new record for the ...
