Mouse Eggs From Stem Cells

Scientists have developed synthetic mouse embryos from stem cells. The model embryos feature beating hearts and even foundations for the brain and other organs of a mouse's body. The achievement is likely to help researchers unravel why some embryos successfully develop into a foetus while others fail to do so.

Stem cells can be used to create a "synthetic embryo" without using a sperm, eggs, or a womb, according to scientists. Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science were able to create an artificial embryo using only stem celll from mice. These synthetic embryos grew normally until day 8.5 when the early organ progenitors are formed such as hear...

Japanese scientists said Monday they had grown mouse eggs entirely in the lab, then fertilised them to yield fertile offspring, a scientific first cautiously hailed by experts in human reproduction.

Using embryonic stem cells from mice, Chinese scientists reported today they have created functioning sperm, which was injected into female mice eggs and resulted in normal, fertile offspring.
