ANN ARBOR, Michigan, April 21 (TNSjou) -- The University of Michigan issued the following news:
* * *
Stem cell model of human embryo produces yolk sac without hypoblasts or genetic trickery
The model demonstrates never-before-seen potential in human pluripotent stem cells
Key takeaways
* For the first time, stem cells typically considered restricted to forming body tissues spontaneously formed a yolk-sac-like structure in a model . . .
