When implanted, these structures induced pregnancy signs in female macaques.

Scientists have grown embryo-like models using monkey stem cells for the first time, which when implanted in surrogate monkey 'mothers' appear to progress through the earliest stages of gestation.

Embryos made from stem cells, rather than an egg and sperm, appear to generate a short-lived pregnancy-like response in monkeys.

The development of human embryos and early organ formation remain largely unexplored due to ethical issues related to the use of embryos...Human embryo development and early organ formation remain largely unexplored due to ethical issues related to the use of embryos for research, as well as the limited availability of materials to study. Now, a team of researchers from China has managed to create embryo-like structures from monkey embryonic stem cells. The researchers also transferred these emb...

THURSDAY, April 6, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Scientists have created an embryo-like structure using monkey embryonic stem cells for the first time, part of an effort to better understand early

For the first time, researchers transferred them to the wombs of female monkeys, where the embryo-like structures produced a response similar to pregnancy.

The lab of Juan Song, PhD, and colleagues at the UNC School of Medicine, demonstrated the therapeutic potential of new neurons generated in adulthood for modulating the pathology and functional deficits associated with Alzheimer’s disease using rodent models.

Scientists have created an embryo-like structure using monkey embryonic stem cells for the first time, part of an effort to better understand early human development and organ formation.

In humanity's ongoing quest for the elixir of life, the science keeps pointing to stem cells. Research increasingly shows that maintaining stem cell fitness promotes a long healthspan, and new findings show keeping stem cells clean and tidy is an integral step.

A recent study reveals that improving stem cells' "garbage disposal" system may help guard against age-related disorders. The ability of stem cells to dispose of misfolded proteins declines with age, which can lead to problems with the blood and immune systems. Read more.
