- Without Egg, Sperm or Womb: Synthetic Embryo Models May Enable Growing Organs for Transplantation
- A synthetic embryo, made without sperm or egg, could lead to infertility treatments
- Scientists grow whole model of human embryo, without sperm or egg
- Scientists create the world’s first ‘synthetic’ embryos without using sperm or eggs
“This is really a textbook image of a human day-14 embryo,” Prof Hanna says, which “hasn’t been done before”.
Instead of a sperm and egg, the starting material was naive stem cells which were reprogrammed to gain the potential to become any type of tissue in the body.
Chemicals were then used to coax these stem cells into becoming four types of cell found in the earliest stages of the human embryo:
- epiblast cells, which become the embryo proper (or foetus)
- trophoblast cells, which become the placenta
- hypoblast cells, which become the supportive yolk sac
- extraembryonic mesoderm cells

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, who is presiding over the Georgia election subversion case against former President Donald Trump and 18 other co-defendants, will hold his first hearing Wednesday afternoon amid questions of how soon a trial could begin.
