A stem-cell-based embryo models (SCBEM) is a coherent multicellular structure that – in some respects – resembles an embryo in the earliest stages of development.
SCBEMs are created in the laboratory from stem cells, rather than from eggs and sperm.
Speakers highlighted the need for interdisciplinary dialogue between ethicists and researchers when considering ethical research involving stem cell-based-embryo models...
A stem-cell-based embryo model capable of producing human blood cells has been created in the lab, mimicking early embryonic development...
Dr Hafez Ismaïli M'hamdi – from the department of health, ethics and society at Maastricht University, the Netherlands – argues that distinction between integrated and non-integrated embryo models still matters…
