"Being able to record a movie of something that has never been seen before, which are the early steps of human life, was mind-blowing."
"We just can't see it because it happens inside the uterus hidden from scientific experimentation."
"We can see how the embryo penetrates this matrix and sort of digs a hole in the matrix. It's very, very beautiful."
"It's quite stunning to see it live."
Researchers have successfully recorded the real-time implantation of a human embryo into a womb using an artificial womb created in a lab. This groundbreaking achievement enables scientists to examine the previously hidden process of how embryos implant in the uterus. They utilized a collagen matrix to observe the embryos, which were collected from infertility treatments, and captured time-lapse videos of them burrowing into the matrix. This research could advance treatment methods for infertility and miscarriage prevention.
