It turns out that we humans go through a predictable series of developmental stages (Cook-Greuter, 2014). As we move into each new stage, we develop a different, more expansive type of awareness (or ...
Science Daily: Human embryo-like models created from stem cells to understand earliest stages of human development
Human embryo-like models created from stem cells to understand earliest stages of human development
The first steps of human development—those that occur within the first few weeks of pregnancy—remain mysterious in many ways. Within a week of fertilization, human embryos form a blastocyst, which ...
FierceBiotech: Scalable human embryo model displays earliest stages of blood cell production
Scientists have grown a scalable new embryo-like model that unshrouds some mysteries of early human development, including blood cell formation, or hematopoiesis—a first for the field. In an article ...
The Conversation: Synthetic human embryos let researchers study early development while sidestepping ethical and logistical hurdles

Science Daily: Stem cell model offers first glimpse of early human embryonic development
The new platform's ethically grounded approach promises to reveal much about how human embryos form during the earliest stages of pregnancy. It's one of life's most defining moments -- that crucial ...

New Scientist: Human skin cells altered to mimic early stage of embryo development
Living structures that model early human embryonic development have been generated entirely from cells in the skin. The models mean it should be possible to study infertility, early miscarriage and ...
