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 ...

The schematic depicts five stages of human implantation: (1) blastocyst differentiation into ICM/TE; (2) apposition and adhesion to luminal epithelium (dependent on L-selectin/ligand); (3) invasion ...

A system which replicates the womb lining (endometrium) with high biological fidelity has been developed by researchers at the Babraham Institute and used to listen in to the communication that ...
