Artificial Embryo Shows Early Potential For Medical Therapies, Not Babies, Cambridge University Study Reveals
Trying to mimic the early stages of reproduction, Cambridge University researchers cultivated two types of mouse stem cells in a Petri dish and watched an embryo emerge -- one that closely resembled a natural mouse embryo in its architecture, its development process and its ability to assemble itself.
The artificial structure shows promise as a tool for medical research, though it cannot develop into an actual baby.
