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…
