Israeli Scientists Develop Synthetic Human Embryo Model from Stem Cells

Israeli scientists at the Weizmann Institute have achieved a significant breakthrough in synthetic embryo development by creating a stem cell-derived human embryo model that closely resembles a human embryo at day 14 of development. This advancement will enable researchers to study the development of organs, as well as investigate birth defects and congenital diseases that occur during the critical period between day 10 and day 40 of embryonic development.
