Lab-grown embryo models reveal how blood and heart cells form in early development
Introduction: A leap in modeling early human development University of Cambridge scientists have created three-dimensional, embryo‑like structures from human stem cells that self‑organize and mimic aspects of very early human development. Named hematoids, these models reproduce the formation of blood stem cells and beating heart cells in a lab setting, offering a window into the…

Lab-grown embryo models mimic natural formation of blood and heart cells
Overview: A window into early human development Scientists at the University of Cambridge have engineered three‑dimensional, embryo‑like structures from human stem cells that replicate key features of very early human development. These structures, named hematoids, self‑organize to form tissues and, notably, produce blood stem cells, offering a promising platform to study how the human body…

Breakthrough Lab-Grown Blood Cells Opens Path to Regenerative Therapies
New frontier in regenerative medicine: lab-grown blood cells Scientists have reported a breakthrough in generating blood cells from human stem cells in the lab, paving the way for regenerative therapies, disease modelling, and improved drug screening. The work centers on creating embryo-like structures, nicknamed hematoids, which recreate the early stages of human development when blood…
