This study is led by Prof. Lei Jin and Dr. Lixia Zhu (Reproductive Medicine Center, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology). Assisted reproductive ...

At some point in our evolution, we lost the ability to activate a reproductive mechanism called embryonic diapause, which slows development, usually during the blastocyst stage. And so, unlike mammals ...

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 ...

In some mammals, the timing of the normally continuous embryonic development can be altered to improve the chances of survival for both the embryo and the mother. This mechanism to temporarily slow ...

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are found in the inner cell mass of the human blastocyst, an early stage of the developing embryo lasting from the 4 th to 7 th day after fertilization. In normal embryonic ...
