Scientists film human embryos settling into womb for 1st time

Technology Aug 15, 2025

For the first time ever, scientists have captured live footage of human embryos burrowing into a lab-made uterine lining.
This breakthrough, published August 15, 2025, gives us a close-up look at a key moment in early pregnancy that's never been seen before.

Why this research matters

Implantation failure is behind most early miscarriages. By watching exactly how embryos make themselves at home, researchers hope to boost fertility treatments and help prevent pregnancy loss.
The team also plans to share their tissue model so more labs can study this crucial stage. They gave special thanks to patients who donated embryos, making this discovery possible.
