New Study Could Boost IVF Success: 3D Video Shows How Embryos Implant
Scientists have recorded a real-time 3D video of a human embryo implanting into the uterus for the first time. They have used a synthetic uterus model to show how the process happens naturally in the body.

Harvard Scientist Accused Of Smuggling Frog Embryos Indicted On New Charges
A Russian-born scientist at Harvard University accused of smuggling frog embryos into the United States was indicted on Wednesday on additional charges nearly two weeks after her lawyers secured her release from US custody.

Australian Woman Gives Birth To Stranger's Baby In IVF Mistake
An IVF mix-up in Brisbane led to a woman giving birth to another couple's child, raising legal and ethical concerns about parental rights and the need for stricter regulations in assisted reproductive technologies.

Scientists Revive Dire Wolves Using Ancient DNA and Modern Gene Editing
In a landmark scientific achievement, three dire wolf pups have been born using reconstructed DNA from fossils, marking the species’ return after being extinct for over 12,000 years. Dallas-based Colossal Biosciences led the project, using gene editing to implant dire wolf traits into grey wolf embryos, which were then carried by domestic dog sur...

World's First Kangaroo Embryos Created via IVF
Scientists have successfully produced the first kangaroo embryos through in vitro fertilisation (IVF), a development that they said could be critical for saving the species from extinction.

Breakthrough As Australian Scientists Produce Kangaroo Embryos Using IVF For First Time
It's the first time a kangaroo embryo has been produced by injecting a single sperm cell into an egg.

First Mouse with Two Fathers Thrives into Adulthood, Marking New Scientific Milestone
Scientists have achieved a major milestone by creating a bi-paternal mouse, marking progress in stem cell science and reproductive biology. By modifying imprinting genes, researchers overcame previous barriers to unisexual mammalian reproduction. While only a small percentage of the engineered embryos survived to birth, the research demonstrates th...

New Study Finds Selfish DNA (LINE-1) is Essential for Early Human Embryo Development
Recent research has shed light on how "selfish DNA," particularly LINE-1 transposons, plays a key role in early human development. Once viewed primarily as harmful, these elements have now been found to be essential for the normal formation and specialisation of cells during the embryo's early stages. Blocking their activity causes developmental di...

Are We Creating 'Superhumans'? US Startup Offers IQ Screening For Embryos
A US startup, Heliospect Genomics, is offering wealthy couples the option to test embryos for IQ amid growing ethical debates over genetic modification.

Y Chromosome's Decline: Can Males Survive Without It in the Distant Future?
The human Y chromosome, crucial for male development in the embryo, has been steadily losing its genes over millions of years. Currently, the chromosome is down to just 45 genes from an original count of 1438, with scientists estimating that it could disappear entirely within 11 million years. This genetic deterioration has raised concerns about th...
