Months later (and just a few weeks before the due date), Sozen is providing a new lens into this process with a model for human post-implantation development, a period in human development that is ...

and thus current approaches have had limited success in expanding our understanding of early human development. Now Brivanlou and colleagues have demonstrated how a stem cell model system known as ...

Researchers hope these model embryos will shed light on the “black box” of human development, the period following 14 days after fertilization, which is the agreed limit for scientists to grow ...
