Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...

Microscopy image of a PGA at day 8 showing the early tissues supporting the embryo, including the amniotic sac and the yolk sac-like structures, surrounded by (extra-embryonic) mesoderm tissue.

Researchers have coaxed stem cells to grow into amniotic sacs filled with fluid 1. The model sacs, which grew to roughly the same size as a four-week-old sac surrounding a developing embryo, could be ...

A newly created cell model of the amniotic sac could reveal new insights into early pregnancy, as well as generate helpful products for medical use. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...
