Synthetic Eggs

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.

In a new study, a research team used the artificial womb to grow natural mouse embryos (fertilised from sperm and eggs), which lived for 11 days. The lab-created womb, or external uterus, was a breakthrough in itself as embryos could not survive in petri dishes. scientists started with collections of stem cells. The conditions created by the extern...

Stem cells can be used to create a "synthetic embryo" without using a sperm, eggs, or a womb, according to scientists. Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science were able to create an artificial embryo using only stem celll from mice. These synthetic embryos grew normally until day 8.5 when the early organ progenitors are formed such as hear...

Trashing reports about availability of "plastic" rice and "synthetic" eggs in the market as "mere rumours", Karnataka Food and Civil Supplies Minister U T Khader said no such case has been reported so far in the state.
