6 core challenges that researchers must consider as the race to create models that are ever closer to real human embryos heats up.

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development - including the ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

Scientists have grown a human embryo-like structure in a lab which replicates very early human development - including the production of blood stem cells. The lab-grown embryo model could help ...

Stem-cell models provide evidence that viral DNA sequences that entered the human genome in the past were repurposed to aid early stages of embryonic development. Sherif Khodeer is in the Department ...

Scientists have gotten an unprecedented look at how the human embryo implants in a uterus. They did this by creating very primitive, womb-like environments in the lab. "This is really important work ...

The discovery of a gene essential to early embryonic development sheds light on the preliminary stages of human placenta formation. A team led by scientists from the University of California San Diego ...

The team observed the emergence of the three-dimensional embryo-like structures under a microscope in the lab. These started producing blood (seen here in red) after around two weeks of development - ...

Microscopy image of a day 14 human embryo that has implanted in the new artificial womb. (Matteo Molè at the Babraham Institute.) Scientists have gotten an unprecedented look at how the human embryo ...
