Artificial
human life could
soon be grown
from scratch in
the lab, after
scientists
successfully
created a mammal
embryo using
only stem cells.
Cambridge
University mixed
two kinds of
mouse stem cells
and placed them
on a 3D
scaffold. After
four days of
growth in a tank
of chemicals
designed to
mimic conditions
inside the womb,
the cells formed
the structure of
a living mouse
embryo.
The breakthrough
has been
described as a
‘masterpiece’ in
bioengineering,
which could
eventually allow
scientists to
grow artificial
human embryos in
the lab without
the need for a
sperm or an egg.
