In a First, Scientists Say They Created ‘Embryo-Like’ Structures From Monkey Stem Cells
Scientists in China this week say they’ve accomplished a first in bioengineering: creating embryo-like structures from monkey stem cells. The structures were implanted in surrogate female monkeys and briefly grew but did not become viable fetuses. The research may eventually help us better understand the earliest moments of human development and how it can go…
