Biologists create detailed lab replicas of early human embryos
Biologists trying to create laboratory models of the early growth of a human embryo have taken a major step forward. In preprints posted online on Thursday and Friday, four research teams reported using various kinds of human stem cells, some genetically modified, to create ersatz embryos that closely resemble real embryos that are up to 14 days old, replicating a period in human development that is very difficult to study. The rush of papers was triggered when the leader of one group, developmental biologist Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz, briefly described her team’s results at the International Society for Stem Cell Re...
