Identifying the defining characteristics of different states of stem cell pluripotency could hold the key to improving human stem cell-based embryo models...
Scientists have reportedly created an embryo model from human stem cells with a heartbeat and traces of blood; features that typically appear in an embryo proper during the third or fourth week of pregnancy...
Scientists have created embryo models from human stem cells and cultivated them to a stage beyond the equivalent of 14 days of development for an embryo proper, sparking ethical discussion...
Lab-made model embryos triggered pregnancy responses when placed in the uteruses of female monkeys...
A technique commonly used to amplify minute quantities of DNA to allow genetic testing of early human embryos has been shown to be error-prone. Potentially harmful unintended mutations in genome-edited embryos were also found...
