For a long time, having children has been a young person’s game. Although ancient records are sparse, researchers estimate that, for most of human history, women most typically conceived their ...

Analyzing embryo movements in uteruslike environments could offer clues to improving the success rate of in vitro fertilization ...

Sixty percent of miscarriages are caused by the failure of an embryo—the developmental stage before a fetus—to implant in the woman’s uterus. Part of the problem is that researchers have no idea how ...

Recently, scientists have reviewed the existing literature to understand how space travel, space radiation, and microgravity affect human reproductive functions. This review was published in Npj ...

Human reproduction is influenced by a complex interplay of biology, genetics, and socioeconomic factors. Over the past few decades, substantial changes have occurred in reproductive trends across ...

The creation of a human embryo without sperm or egg also goes beyond what we have seen in previous artificial reproductive technology and genetic engineering techniques.

The fundamental mechanics which govern how a new human life takes shape—the cellular, molecular and genetic underpinnings of human fertility and infertility—are, largely, a black box.

If humanity’s future really is in the stars, what will that mean when it comes to, well, making more humans? As a number of ...
