Microgravity and higher radiation levels in orbit could disrupt cell alignment, gene expression, or organ formation.

China has become the first nation to send human artificial embryos into orbit, aiming to uncover how space conditions like ...

China launched embryo-like structures made from living human stem cells to its Tiangong space station for a first-of-its-kind ...

China's Tianzhou-10 mission just delivered embryo-like structures made from living stem cells to the Tiangong space station. Experiments could shed light on how radiation and microgravity affect human ...

China sent artificial human embryos to its Tiangong space station, aiming to study how microgravity impacts early embryonic ...

Yu Leqian, a professor at the Institute of Zoology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences and head of the human embryo model ...

Under his microscope, Jun Wu could see several tiny spheres, each less than 1 millimetre wide. They looked just like human embryos: a dark cluster of cells surrounded by a cavity, and then another ...

Ancient viruses are embedded everywhere in the human genome. Estimates range, but it's thought that about eight percent of the human genome could be made up of these ancient retroviruses, which are ...

The first few days of a human embryo’s development, known as pre-implantation, are important. It’s when the first cells are formed, and these decide if the embryo can survive, how it will implant in ...

For several years, researchers studied human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to understand the unique features of these pluripotent cells, but on their own, they poorly resembled the complex structures ...
