A human embryo model mimics early development and blood-cell formation

Nature, Published online: 21 February 2024; doi:10.1038/d41586-023-04129-5Human embryos are extremely difficult to study. This lack of samples limits our understanding of crucial developmental stages, such as the early formation of blood cells. A stem-cell-based model closely captures the development of human embryonic and key extra-embryonic tissues after implantation, as well as the formation of early blood cells.
