Scientists have captured the first time-lapse video of human embryo implantation into a uterine wall. This breakthrough reveals a previously hidden stage of early development. The new study, published in Science Advances, used an artificial uterine wall to record the process in human and mouse embryos. A key difference found is that human embryos embed deeply, unlike mice which implant on the surface. This research offers insights into human development and could aid in developing artificial wombs and improving fertility treatments. The study highlights the significant mechanical force human embryos exert during implantation.
