Creating a Model of a Human Embryo Using Stem Cells
Scientists have created a stem cell cocktail that can mimic the development of a human embryo, providing valuable insights into early development without ethical concerns. By mixing 120 cells, they were able to produce an embryo-like structure that closely resembled a real embryo. This model allowed scientists to study cell specialization, organ formation, and other aspects of early development. While the model is not viable and cannot become a real human, it offers a promising avenue for further research. This breakthrough could improve IVF success rates and enhance our understanding of embryos.
