Scientists Use Materials to Make Stem Cells Behave Like Human Embryos

Materials scientists at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney have shown that human pluripotent stem cells in a lab can initiate a process resembling the gastrulation phase — where cells begin differentiating into new cell types — much earlier than occurs in mother nature. For an embryo developing in the womb, gastrulation occurs ...
