Researchers led by developmental biologist Kathy Niakan at the University of Cambridge have used base editing in human embryos to learn more about human embryonic development. By deactivating a gene ...

A human embryo ‘base edited’ so that it can’t produce a key protein (right), fails to form the mass of cells that gives rise ...

Research led by the University of Cambridge Loke Center for Trophoblast Research has shown that a genome-editing technique ...

Companies aim to edit germlines, which they say could prevent a range of diseases. But do people want the tech?

Men have nipples because embryos are sexually neutral for their first six weeks. Here's the developmental blueprint behind one of anatomy's most overlooked mysteries.

The couple at the center of an embryo mix-up case involving a Seminole County fertility clinic will raise the baby girl the woman gave birth to in December even though it is not their biological child ...

Summary: Researchers unmasked a hidden metabolic mechanism that explains why advanced maternal age (AMA) impairs female fertility and reduces the success rates of assisted reproductive technology (ART ...

A DNA-editing feat involving editing the genes of early stage embryos—a far cry from designer babies, but nevertheless a step in that direction—was announced this week. Dieter Egli, an associate ...
