A stem-cell-based monkey embryo model that self-organizes into a comprehensive body plan could lead the way to more-sophisticated models of early human development. Xiangyu Kong is in the Department ...

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 production ...

This model replicates the mature human amnion for the first time, closely mimicking the structural and functional traits of the human amniotic sac with high reproducibility. This gives researchers a ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...

A Cambridge University research team has used a precise gene-editing technique — applied for the first time to study a developmental gene in donated human embryos — to confirm that a single gene ...

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 - ...
