In their effort to understand the very earliest stages of life and how they can go wrong, scientists are confronted with ethical issues surrounding the use of human embryos. The use of animal embryos ...

Scientists have created “synthetic” mouse embryos from stem cells without a dad’s sperm or a mom’s egg or womb. The lab-created embryos mirror a natural mouse embryo up to 8 ½ days after fertilization ...

Early human development is a complex, multistep process that’s even more complicated to study in the lab. Models made from stem cells avoid some of the trouble with using real human embryos. In June, ...

A state supreme court has shocked fertility clinics by ruling that lab embryos are children. This article first appeared in The Checkup, MIT Technology Review’s weekly biotech newsletter. To receive ...

In August 2022, NIH researchers from the University of Cambridge successfully created a synthetic mouse embryo model using cultured mice stem cells. This project aimed at using stem cells to express ...

To create the synthetic embryos, or "embryoids," described in the Nature paper, scientists combined embryonic stem cells and two other types of stem cells — all from mice. They did this in the lab, ...
