A team of researchers from Cambridge University and California Institute of Technology say they have created the world’s first synthetic human embryo without an egg and sperm. The embryo-like structures were made from stem cells and are at the earliest stages of fetal development, according to scientists. However, these experiments could one day be groundbreaking in providing new information on genetic diseases or the causes of miscarriages. #Science | Cheddar Gadgets

Scientists in Israel have created a model of a human embryo from stem cells in the laboratory, without using sperm, eggs or a womb, offering a unique glimpse into the early stages of embryonic development https://reut.rs/45WUG6x | Reuters
