A stem-cell-based embryo model (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.
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…
