Researchers have used zebrafish embryos to propagate the human norovirus, the predominant cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide.

A machine learning algorithm uses computational topology to study how cells in the embryo organize themselves into tissue-like architectures.

Scientists can create viable eggs from two male mice. In the wake of CRISPR controversies and restrictive abortion laws, two experts start a dialogue on ethical research in reproductive biology.

Cambridge scientists have created a stem cell-derived model of the human embryo in the lab by reprogramming human stem cells. The breakthrough could help
