Researchers have captured the very first real-time, three-dimensional images and videos of a human embryo implanting into collagen designed to mimic uterine tissue —a key stage in reproduction. The ...

Although scientists know a lot about the process of human embryo implantation, it had never been recorded in real time, until now. Now that investigators can observe it in action, they may be able to ...

To facilitate proper implantation, endometrial stroma cells (ESC) differentiate into decidual cells in a process known as decidualization. To visualize actin dynamics, researchers tagged actin ...
