Can AI Tools Help Fertility Treatments? Experts Warn About Ethical Concerns
Artificial intelligence tools can now help choose the most promising embryos for in vitro fertilisation (IVF), although experts have warned.

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.

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...

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...

Chinese Scientist Who Gene-Edited Babies Is Back In Lab After Jail Time
Mr He has resumed research on human embryo genome editing, despite the controversy over the ethics of artificially rewriting genes.

Scientists Grow Mouse Embryos In Space For First Time
Mouse embryos have been grown on the International Space Station and developed normally in the first study indicating it could be possible for humans to reproduce in space, a group of Japanese scientists said.

Scientists Create 'Human Embryo Model' Without Sperm Or Egg
The team of scientists said that these synthetic embryo models had all the structures and compartments characteristic of this stage.

Controversial Chinese Scientist He Jiankui Back With New Gene-Editing Proposal
He Jiankui said that this experiment would involve abnormal fertilised egg cells that are typically considered unsuitable for implantation in women.
