Prenatal vitamins are an essential tool for ensuring optimal maternal health and fetal development. They help fill ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University's Center for Mental Health Innovation have discovered that maternal diet ...

"The same jarring imagery of a fried egg could apply to fetal brain development in places with higher-than-recommended levels of ozone." Scientists make disturbing new discovery about fetal brain ...

Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists were able to create 'programmable' cellular models of embryos without ever experimenting ...

Brain organoids, three-dimensional models of the brain, are a boon to neuroscience, making it possible to study the ...

New research has discovered an unexpected way pregnancy alters the brain—by changing a mother's temperature preferences. A study from the Baylor College of Medicine found that postpartum women prefer ...

In Indiana, abortion is allowed only in cases of rape, incest, fetal anomalies or if the mother’s life is in danger. Even ...

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) announced a new grand challenge to develop groundbreaking imaging technologies to transform how scientists observe, measure and understand living cells and ...

A pioneering peer-reviewed research study published in Brain Medicine provides compelling evidence that maternal ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

An Indiana couple received their son's hydranencephaly diagnosis in time to have options, but that is not the case for every ...

In a potentially major breakthrough for regenerative medicine, scientists at MIT have developed a way to convert skin cells ...
