A microscopic ‘living robot’ made from frog embryo stem cells have been designed with self-healing powers and the ability to keep memories. The innovation pulls from previous work released last year, called Xenobots, but has been upgraded to move more efficiently and perform more complex tasks. Dubbed Xenobots 2.0, the machines are able to self-propel … Read more
Scientists create a model of an early human embryo from SKIN CELLS in breakthrough that will ‘revolutionise’ research into the causes of early miscarriage and infertility Skin cells underwent ‘nuclear reprogramming’ and turned into embryo-like cells These were then assembled around a 3D structure to form blastocyst models This is the first time blastocyst models have … Read more
The 27-year-old baby girl: Child conceived in 1992 makes history as the longest-frozen embryo to be born – stealing the title from her three-year-old sister Molly Everette Gibson was born on October 26 to her mom Tina Gibson Tina was only one year old when her daughter’s embryo was frozen back in 1992 The embryo … Read more
Scientists create the most advanced human-mouse ‘hybrid’ embryo ever, with as much as 4% of its blood, brain tissue, and heart cells coming from human stem cells Researchers created a hybrid embryo of mice cells and human stem cells The embyros are the most advanced human-mice hybrids, with some made of up to 4% human … Read more
Scientists say they have been able to produce millions of mature human cells in a mouse embryo for the first time. The researchers injected human stem cells into a mouse embryo, which then generated millions of mature human cells as it developed. The researchers claim that up to four per cent of the total number of … Read more
