New research by neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge has identified five key stages of human brain development. The ...

Researchers have used stem cells to develop new human embryolike structures that model the earliest stages of fetal development so realistically that they even secrete hormones that can turn a lab ...

A gene that turns on very early in embryonic development could be key to the formation of the placenta, which provides the ...

Sigmund Freud developed a five-stage model of human development, each stage with its own characteristics and challenges. Not only was this a useful way of viewing our growth, but he believed that ...

The new platform's ethically grounded approach promises to reveal much about how human embryos form during the earliest stages of pregnancy. It's one of life's most defining moments -- that crucial ...

In a recent study published in Nature, researchers created a comprehensive digital atlas of fetal brain maturation from a large cohort, detailing structural growth and folding from early pregnancy to ...

Despite being an essential developmental process, the understanding of human embryonic genome activation is limited, owing to the lack of in vitro cell models and ethical concerns. To advance ...

It's one of life's most defining moments - that crucial step in embryonic development, when an indistinct ball of cells rearranges itself into the orderly three-layered structure that sets the stage ...

You might already know that we can awaken through exercises like meditation or self-inquiry. But did you know that we can also awaken developmentally? Many researchers now agree that what we might ...
