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 Hematoids mimic early human blood and heart development
Groundbreaking lab-grown embryo models reveal early blood formation Researchers at the University of Cambridge have created three-dimensional, embryo-like structures from human stem cells that replicate crucial early steps of human development. Named hematoids, these self-organising models begin producing blood stem cells within about two weeks in the lab, offering a window into how the human…

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…
