New culturing techniques track crucial stage of embryo development

Posted on June 28, 2021 by David Adam

The second week of gestation is crucial for human development, as the growing embryo needs to implant in the mother’s womb to survive. Many early pregnancies fail at this point, but it has been difficult to determine exactly why. Lacking … Continue reading →
