University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development - including the ...

The team observed the emergence of the three-dimensional embryo-like structures under a microscope in the lab. These started producing blood (seen here in red) after around two weeks of development - ...

Understanding how these cells develop and function is like decoding a complex puzzle. “By perfecting stem cell methods that mimic the development of the normal blood stem cells found in our bodies we ...
