Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), used CRISPR to engineer cellular models of embryos that mimic what happens in the first few days after reproductive cells meet. These ...

Lab-grown structures with the potential to develop into fetuses should be defined — and regulated — as embryos, some researchers say. It is time for a redefinition of the human embryo, a team of ...
