New research reveals how two genes in the uterus control embryo implantation during IVF. This discovery may explain repeated IVF failures and pave the way for personalised treatments.

A new study shows that the embryo and the uterine lining conduct an active "conversation" from the very earliest stages of implantation. They engage in a back and forth of tiny packages called ...

A new experimental study has found that perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a widely used industrial chemical, can interfere with key biological processes required for successful embryo implantation, ...

Scientists have found a genetic “switch” involving HOXA10 and TWIST2 that is important for embryo implantation. This ...
