Here in the UK, the HFEA is recommending changing the 14-day rule on human embryo research to allow culture up to 28 days. This will open up new avenues of research into previously inaccessible stages of development, and potentially provide new understanding of the causes of early pregnancy failure.
Limit on human embryo research should be extended to 28 days, says UK regulator
Experts say increasing law from 14 days could lead to breakthroughs in understand of miscarriages

Happy to have the Srinivas lab on Bluesky!

Even our embryos are starting to feel a little festive in the Srinivas lab! We are excited to share our new bioRχiv pre-print – investigating the role of calcium in the early embryo
