Recent breakthroughs in making stem-cell based human embryo models are raising urgent questions about to what extent they should be treated like natural embryos and whether they are open to misuse.

Morphogens are the secreted molecules that pattern embryonic tissues. These molecules are important not only for the embryo during development, but also for the adult during tissue repair. However ...

Scientists have created synthetic blobs that resemble a 14-day-old human embryo for the first time, meaning they can study embryo development beyond a particularly tricky period of pregnancy.

A recent Nature study evaluates post-implantation development in humans using embryo-like models based on genetically unmodified human naïve embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Study: Complete human day ...

Many top UK scientists are calling for the current 14-day limit on embryo research to be doubled to 28-days, so they can study the unexplored secrets of early human development. Lifting the ban ...
