Sex cells made from scratch could revolutionize human reproduction. But researchers are struggling to translate promising ...

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

Scientists might soon be able to create eggs and sperm from skin and blood cells. What will that mean? The way we make babies could be about to change. Maybe. An embryo forms when sperm meets egg. But ...

Scientists have identified the biochemical signals that control the emergence of the body pattern in the primate embryo. This will guide work to understand birth defects and pregnancy loss in humans.

Scientists created the eggs using DNA from adult skin cells, a step that could someday potentially lead to new ways to treat ...

The following is an excerpt from The End of Sex and the Future of Human Reproduction by Henry T. Greely. This is a book about the future of our species, about the likely development of revolutionary ...

US researchers successfully created early-stage human embryos from adult skin cells, bypassing traditional egg cells through ...

A study based on a review of genetic and health information from more than 276,000 people finds strong support for a decades-old evolutionary theory that sought to explain aging and senescence. A ...

The new Assisted Human Reproduction Regulatory Authority has been set up today by Minister for Health, Jennifer Carroll ...
