In a seminal breakthrough that stands to reshape the field of reproductive biology, Professor Jacob Hanna and his multidisciplinary team at Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science have successfully developed intricate human embryo models using stem cells cultivated in a laboratory setting. Detailed in a peer-reviewed article published in the esteemed journal Nature, these synthetic embryo models faithfully replicate the essential characteristics observed in a 14-day-old human embryo. This includes not only the core features but also complex external elements such as the placenta, yolk sac, and chorionic sac—all crucial for the robust and dynamic growth of the embryo.
