Human Embryo Model

The team of scientists said that these synthetic embryo models had all the structures and compartments characteristic of this stage.

Scientists have developed synthetic mouse embryos from stem cells. The model embryos feature beating hearts and even foundations for the brain and other organs of a mouse's body. The achievement is likely to help researchers unravel why some embryos successfully develop into a foetus while others fail to do so.

Scientists have developed a human embryo "blueprint" using human stem cells, in a breakthrough that could provide vital insight into the early stages of infant development, new research showed Thursday.
