Model of human embryo developed without sperm, eggs or a womb

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics

The researchers claim it’s the first “complete” embryo model for simulating all the important components that form in the early embryo.

The science of baby-making is clear. A sperm cell (which contains genetic material from the father) and an egg cell (which contains genetic material from the mother) must fuse in order for a human embryo to develop.

However, science and technology are constantly improving in the fields of embryology and stem cell research.
