The team used human stem cells to create embryo-like structures dubbed “hematoids” that mirror some features of early human ...

Human embryo models capable of synthesizing their own blood have been developed, in an advance that could lead to new ...

Scientists have created the first detailed day-by-day map of human embryo development using single-cell technology.

The embryo-like model could help scientists test new drugs, create stem cells for transplants and research blood disorders ...

Cambridge scientists create human blood cells in lab via embryo-like “hematoids,” aiding blood disorder research and stem ...

Cambridge scientists grow ‘hematoids’, embryo-like structures from stem cells that generate blood stem cells after two weeks ...

The majority of fertilized eggs die and are resorbed into the body. ZEISS Microscopy/Flickr, CC BY-SA As an evolutionary biologist whose career has focused on how embryos develop in a wide variety of ...

Our ancient past isn't always buried history. When it comes to our DNA, nearly 9% of the human genome is made up of leftover genetic material from ancient viruses (called endogenous retroviruses or ...

Ancient viruses are embedded everywhere in the human genome. Estimates range, but it's thought that about eight percent of the human genome could be made up of these ancient retroviruses, which are ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

Scientists from the University of Cambridge have developed lab-grown human embryo-like structures that have the ability to ...
