Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...

The team observed the emergence of the three-dimensional embryo-like structures under a microscope in the lab. These started producing blood (seen here in red) after around two weeks of development - ...

Eating large amounts of ultra-processed food (UPF) is linked not only to reduced fertility in men, but also to slower growth in early embryos, and smaller yolk sacs, which are essential for early ...

Statements in English by Samuel Ojosnegros Martos, Principal Investigator of the Bioengineering for Reproductive Health Group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), and leader of the ...

For the first time, scientists have captured a real-time view of a human embryo implanting in a laboratory model of a uterus. Being able to witness the complex implantation process may be helpful for ...

New research suggests that diets high in ultra-processed foods may not only affect overall health but also play a role in ...

A new study suggests a link between high consumption of ultra-processed foods and reduced fertility in men, slower embryo ...

Findings show ultraprocessed food consumption before conception influences fertility and embryonic development, urging ...
