Researchers have created 'synthetic' embryos from mouse stem cells that have beating hearts as well as the foundations of brains and all other organs. The models are intended to help the scientists at ...

Human embryos could be the next test subjects of a groundbreaking study that kept mouse embryos alive outside of the womb that developed a heart, stomach, head and limbs in six days. A team of Israeli ...

Researchers 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 body. The development could help researchers ...

Scientists have created a mouse embryo that’s part human – 4% to be exact. The hybrid is what scientists call a human-animal chimera, a single organism that’s made up of two different sets of cells – ...

A research team in the UK and US has created "synthetic" mouse embryos that went on to develop a brain, a nerve cord and beating heart tissue in the lab without the need for a fertilised egg or uterus ...

BABIES made without sperm or eggs may become a reality within a year after a major breakthrough. Scientists have created the world’s first artificial embryo – using two types of mice stem cells.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...

Some of the embryos developed into blastocysts over the course of the experiment Chinese Academy of Sciences Mammal embryos have successfully developed in space for the first time on board China's ...

RIKEN biologists have discovered how tiny hairs in embryos detect flowing fluid, which ultimately leads to the left and right sides of the embryo developing differences. As well as resolving a ...

The first time a mammalian baby has been grown outside the womb (Nature) Mouse embryos have been grown outside a living womb for the first time. Scientists at Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science ...

Mouse embryos have been grown in microgravity on the International Space Station (ISS) in the first hint that humans may be able to reproduce in space. Japanese researchers sent frozen embryos to the ...
