The National Library of Medicine (NLM) recently released Embryo, a new app for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. Features of Embryo include human fertilization videos, photo micrographs of early-stage embryo development, 2D and 3D digital images using visual stack dissections, and a pregnancy calculator.
Embryo brings together resources of NLM, the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health & Human Development (NICHD), the Virtual Human Embryo Project (Louisiana State University) and the National Museum of Health & Medicine’s Human Developmental Anatomy Center.
The iTunes preview of Embryo can be found at:
