A "synthetic" embryo with a brain and beating heart has been created by British scientists. It features the foundations of all the body's organs, including neural and gut tubes that protect the ...

An extraordinary new study has detailed the development of a nearly complete mouse embryo – with muscles, blood vessels and a tiny beating heart – grown in a lab dish out of stem cells. The research ...

A study published today in the journal Developmental Cell uncovers new insights into how the heart forms during the earliest stages of embryonic development. The research, led by scientists at the ...

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have harnessed mouse stem cells to create model “synthetic” embryos that comprise a brain, a beating heart, and the foundations of all the other organs of ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from the University of Cambridge have created model embryos from mouse stem cells that form a brain, a beating heart, and the foundations of all the other organs of the ...

The findings shed light on the origins of congenital heart defects and could open new avenues in regenerative medicine and tissue bioengineering. A study published today in the journal Developmental ...

When a woman in her mid-40s underwent a single, genetically normal embryo transfer, clinicians expected -- and counseled for -- a singleton pregnancy. What followed instead was one of the rarest ...

This research was funded by Stem Cells Australia (ARC Special Research Initiative in Stem Cell Science) and an internal grant from the Faculty of Engineering, University of New South Wales. Jingjing ...

Researchers have used naïve pluripotent stem cells to create an embryo model that looks and acts like a natural human embryo. They say it’s an ethical way of gaining a better understanding of ...
