Lab-Grown 3D Embryo Models Make Their Own Blood In Regenerative Medicine BreakthroughThe team observed the emergence of the three-dimensional hematoids under a microscope in the lab. After just a few days these had self-organised into three germ layers - called the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm - the foundations of the human body plan that are crucial for shaping every organ and tissue, including blood.

First-Of-Its-Kind Footage Shows Human Embryo Implantation In Real-TimeConfocal microscopy image of a nine-day-old human embryo. Specific proteins and cellular structures have been coloured in the image: OCT4 (green), which is related to embryonic stem cells; GATA6 (magenta), which is associated with early tissue formation; DAPI (blue), which marks the DNA in the nuclei; and phalloidin (red), which reveals the actin cytoskeleton. The scale bar corresponds to 100 µm.
