I DON'T LIKE THIS>>> Scientists Create The First Synthetic Embryos...

Researchers in Israel have created the world’s first
“synthetic embryos” in a landmark study, without using
sperm or egg cells.

Scientists at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot, Israel,
were able to make stem cells taken from mice form early
embryo-like structures, including a gastrointestinal tract,
a beating heart, and the early stages of a brain. The
embryos are considered “synthetic” because they were not
derived from a fertilized egg — but preliminary results
suggest that “synthetic embryos” are fairly similar to
natural embryos.

“Remarkably, we show that embryonic stem cells generate
whole synthetic embryos, meaning this includes the placenta
and yolk sac surrounding the embryo,” said Dr. Jacob Hanna,
who headed the study. “We are truly excited about this work
and its implications.”

Researchers believe that this breakthrough could offer
alternatives to animal experimentation and pave the way for
new stem cell growth for human transplants. Skin cells
could be potentially transformed into bone marrow stem
cells, for example, to help treat patients suffering from
leukemia. The demand for donated organs often outstrips the
supply, and the immune system naturally attacks foreign
cells, requiring already weakened patients to take
immunosuppressant drugs after a transplant. Being able to
grow tissues from a patient’s DNA could bypass many of the
compatibility issues current transplants face and greatly
increase the availability of the treatment.

The synthetic embryos are not thought to have the potential
to develop into fully-formed animals, and only 0.5% of the
observed stem cells combined to grow distinctive tissue,
although those tissues seemed fully functional and “95%”
similar to natural tissues in basic structure.
