Osaka, Japan - The early development of embryos is not well understood. One necessary stage is the formation of the blastocyst, a collection of cells present by about 4 days after fertilization of the ...

Researchers have generated 3D blastocyst-like structures from stem cells. The study shows that the blastocyst-like structures very closely resemble actual blastocysts, and even induce proper changes ...

J. Zenker et al., “Expanding actin rings zipper the mouse embryo for blastocyst formation,” Cell, 173:776–91.e17, 2018. Not long after egg meets sperm, the resulting mulberry-like mass of cells morphs ...

The first steps of human development—those that occur within the first few weeks of pregnancy—remain mysterious in many ways. Within a week of fertilization, human embryos form a blastocyst, which ...

Scientists have evaluated the adverse effects of blastocyst shrinkage on the reproductive outcomes of frozen-thawed embryo transfer. The effect was evident in embryos with morphologically ...

Innovative research, presented today at the ESHRE 40 th Annual Meeting in Amsterdam, has introduced a novel 3D imaging model designed to identify features of blastocysts – the early stage of ...

“Genome editing technologies—particularly CRISPR-Cas9 used in this study—are having a game-changing effect on our ability to understand the function of critical human genes,” Rob Buckle, chief science ...
