Some newly reported clumps of cells growing in lab dishes have been hailed as the closest things to human embryos that scientists have ever made in the lab. These entities are human embryo models — ...

Researchers have used stem cells to develop new human embryolike structures that model the earliest stages of fetal development so realistically that they even secrete hormones that can turn a lab ...

The most advanced lab-made human embryo models look like the real thing — they resemble, though don't perfectly replicate, natural embryos about 14 days into development. These lab-made embryo models ...

The little clump of cells looked almost like a human embryo. Created from stem cells, without eggs, sperm, or a womb, the embryo model had a yolk sac and a proto-placenta, resembling a state that real ...

Scientists have created embryo models to help study the mysteries of early human development, the medical problems that occur before birth and why many pregnancies fail. These models are made from ...

Scientists have created a stem cell-derived model of the human embryo in the lab by reprogramming human stem cells. The breakthrough could help research into genetic disorders and in understanding why ...

Four teams have coaxed human stem cells to organize themselves into embryo-like forms. The advance could shed light on fertility. By Carl Zimmer In its first week, a fertilized human egg develops into ...

The rise of the AI gig workforce has driven an important shift from commodity task execution to first-tier crowd contribution ...

La Jolla scientists are stepping into a national push to get new medicines from lab bench to bedside faster. The project, ...
