Human embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells are useful as research tools for resolving questions about basic biological phenomena and for cell transplantation and drug screening in ...

Remodeling of the uterine vasculature by invasive extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) is a critical aspect of human placentation. Insufficient EVT invasion can lead to severe obstetrical complications ...

Pluripotent stem cells — which have the ability to differentiate into any cell type in the body — have enormous potential for regenerative medicine and for uncovering the developmental biology ...

Many pregnancies fail early in human embryo development, with 40 to 60 percent of the losses occurring just prior to or during implantation, a process that is initiated on days six and seven ...

Scientists have achieved a major breakthrough by 3D bioprinting miniature placentas, providing a new way to study complications in pregnancy, with the research led by the University of Technology ...
