Newly created “blastoids” could give scientists a faster and simpler way to research embryonic development than using fertilized human eggs. Made of human stem cells, these blastoids are the ...

Human 'blastoids' offer medical hope but also deep ethical challenges Date: September 29, 2022 Source: Hiroshima University Summary: Research performed on human blastoids, a research model of an ...

The study of blastoids, a research model of an early embryo derived from stem cells rather than from a father’s sperm or a mother’s egg, offers great hope for researchers investigating why pregnancies ...

Nuclear receptor-SINE B1 network modulates expanded pluripotency in blastoids and blastocysts. Nature Communications, 2024; 15 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-54381-0 ...

The human blastoids attached specifically to hormonally-stimulated endometrial cells in vitro, which allowed them to recapitulate aspects of peri-implantation development. The blastoids were ...

To better understand the earliest stages of human growth, researchers can examine donated embryos or human embryonic stem cells, both of which are in limited supply, or address their questions with ...

The study showed blastoids reliably replicated key phases of early embryo development. When they were placed in contact with cells from the lining of the uterus that had been stimulated with ...

This elusive ball of cells was difficult to study directly, so scientists developed blastoids—stem-cell-based blastocyst models. Blastoids can be cloned, experimentally manipulated, and programmed, ...
