Scientists capture first footage of human embryo implanting in a uterus | Groundbreaking footage shows ‘surprisingly invasive’ process and may help to improve infertility treatments
Groundbreaking footage shows ‘surprisingly invasive’ process and may help to improve infertility treatments
The groundbreaking footage was released by researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) in collaboration with Dexeus University hospital in Barcelona, which donated the embryos. Embryo implanting itself into the uterine matrix Samuel Ojosnegros, the principal investigator of the IBEC’s bioengineering for reproductive health group and lead author of the study, said the work was significant because it revealed how the implementation process happened in detail. This platform, based on a gel made partly by collagen and uterine tissue, then enabled real-time fluorescence imaging and analysis of the embryo’s interactions with its environment.
