Scientists Create Human 'Pre-Embryo' for Research By Dennis Thompson HealthDay Reporter WEDNESDAY, March 17, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Research into miscarriages, infertility and birth defects is now primed to undergo revolutionary advances, thanks to the creation in the lab of an early stage of human embryos by two separate international teams of scientists. Both teams were able to use human cells to create artificial blastocysts, an early stage of conception that occurs a few days after egg fertilization but prior to the implantation and development of an embryo in the uterus. Until now, re...

Scientists use human cells to make structures that mimic earliest stages of development Updated: 4 days ago Published 4 days ago This undated combination of microscope images provided by Monash University in March 2021 shows different "iBlastoids" (embryo-like structures) stained to highlight different cell types. Scientists made the cell structures in a lab and say they will allow for more research into the earliest stages of human development without running afoul of restrictions on using real embryos.

New early embryo models offer hope for research on miscarriages, birth defects Issued on: 17/03/2021 - 18:15 LLUIS GENE AFP/File Tokyo (AFP) Scientists have generated early-stage human embryo models that could help shed light on the "black box" of initial human development stages and improve research on pregnancy loss and birth defects. Two separate teams found different ways to produce versions of a blastocyst -- the stage of development around five days after a sperm fertilises an egg -- potentially opening the door for a huge expansion of resear...

Agricultural production will need to increase by almost 56% to guarantee food security globally, without converting more land for agriculture (in line with environmental and climate targets). This unprecedented challenge has ushered in the era of "smart agriculture," which promises to revolutionize food production by combining agricultural techniques with information technology, automation, and artificial intelligence. This new era, called "Agr...

Scientists in the US have been successful enough in using the gene-editing tools on human embryos to correct defective DNA which cause inherited diseases.
