Researchers from the University of Cambridge have used mouse stem cells to create a model embryo in the laboratory – a breakthrough they describe as "a new avenue for recreating the first stages of ...

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have harnessed mouse stem cells to create model “synthetic” embryos that comprise a brain, a beating heart, and the foundations of all the other organs of ...

Scientists in the UK say they’ve pulled off a feat of genetic engineering: creating a “synthetic” mouse embryo without the need for egg or sperm cells. The embryos were created with stem cells instead ...

Do synthetic mice dream of electric sheep? We’re on the way to finding out thanks to a breakthrough in stem cell research. It’s not going to overthrow mankind from a lab anytime soon, but a stell cell ...
