STORY: This looks a lot like a human embryo. But it was created without sperm, eggs, or a womb. It was made in a lab, by a group of scientists in Israel. And what they've created so far offers a new ...

Researchers have used stem cells to develop new human embryolike structures that model the earliest stages of fetal development so realistically that they even secrete hormones that can turn a lab ...

For decades, scientists have struggled to study this moment in humans because of ethical restrictions and limited access to ...

Scientists have created a stem cell-derived model of the human embryo in the lab by reprogramming human stem cells. The breakthrough could help research into genetic disorders and in understanding why ...
