Using the placenta to understand how complex organs evolve

By investigating the evolution of the placenta, my colleague Günter Wagner and I identified several processes that appear fundamental to the evolution of all new organs.

Embryo Experiments Reveal Earliest Human Development, But Stir Ethical Debate

The idea of extending the 14-day rule even makes some people who support embryo research queasy, especially without first finding another clear stopping point.

Embryonic Evolution Through Ernst Haeckel’s Eyes

The 19th century biologist’s drawings, tainted by scandal, helped bolster, then later dismiss, his biogenetic law.

Embryonic Knowledge

How does biology intersect with society? A pioneering inter-disciplinary project at Arizona State University is looking at the issue from the perspective of embryo research.

For the First Time, Scientists Win Approval to Edit Human Embryo Genomes

U.K. regulators grant permission to use CRISPR-Cas9 technology in embryos for early-development research.

Hubris and the Tree of Life

Where do we come from? By “we” I mean humans in the large spectrum of life. What makes each of us different from every other human, but more like every other human than like any other animal roaming the earth, and, at the same time, somehow connected to all forms of life?

Meet the First Artificial Embryo Made From Stem Cells

Scientists claim to have created an artificial mouse embryo using two types of stem cells—embryonic stem cells and extra-embryonic trophoblast stem cells, which normally form the placenta.

New fertility procedure may lead to 'embryo farming', warn researchers

Technique could also lead parents to create ‘ideal’ future children only –possible impact on society must be planned for now, say specialists

Scientists call for new ethical guidelines for 'synthetic embryos'

Rapid advances in stem cell and embryo research are in danger of outstripping current ethical guidelines and new regulations are urgently needed, warn scientists...

Scientists crack open 'black box' of development and see a 'rosette'

We know much about how embryos develop, but one key stage -- implantation -- has remained a mystery. Now, scientists from Cambridge have discovered a way to study and film this 'black box' of development. Their results -- which will lead to the rewriting of biology text books worldwide...

Scientists Grow Embryos for Up to 13 Days Outside the Uterus

Two research teams open new window into earliest stages of human development

What is a human embryo? A new piece in the bioethics puzzle

The discussion on the status of the human embryo has a long history. We are not likely arriving near to any kind of definitive conclusions. Instead, the increasing complexity of the scientific scenario is provoking the opposite.

A New Form of Stem-Cell Engineering Raises Ethical Questions

As biological research races forward, ethical quandaries are piling up. In a report published Tuesday in the journal eLife, researchers at Harvard Medical School said it was time to ponder a startling new prospect: synthetic embryos.
