China has become the first nation to send human artificial embryos into orbit, aiming to uncover how space conditions like microgravity and cosmic radiation could affect early human development. The ...

Neil Hunter's laboratory in the UC Davis College of Biological Sciences has placed another piece in the puzzle of how sexual reproduction shuffles genes while making sure sperm and eggs get the right ...

China launched embryo-like structures made from living stem cells to its Tiangong space station aboard the Tianzhou-10 cargo ...

The experiment should reveal how microgravity affects early human development – a critical question if we ever want to have babies beyond the confines of our planet.

Microgravity and higher radiation levels in orbit could disrupt cell alignment, gene expression, or organ formation.
