By engineering a system replicating the womb lining with high biological accuracy, researchers at the Babraham Institute and Stanford University have been able to study the implantation of human embryos, opening up this enigmatic process to investigation. This now allows scientists to study interactions between the womb and embryo, and look for the causes behind implantation failure, a main reason for early pregnancy loss, and the origins of pregnancy complications.
