The structures were left to develop for eight days — reaching a developmental stage equivalent to day 14 of a human embryo in the womb — an important moment when natural embryos acquire the ...

The “embryo model” was made in a lab without the need for sperm or eggs and behaves like the real deal after two weeks, Israeli scientists said. It made a pregnancy test turn positive because ...
