The ability to keep human embryos developing in the lab for almost 2 weeks — achieved for the first time this year — should provide new insights into very early human development, and generate debate on whether ethical limits on studying embryos in culture should be extended.

This has profound implications for our understanding of life's origins, for our understanding of why so many embryos spontaneously abort in the first few days after fertilization, and for our understanding of why some IVF procedures may subtly affect early development, with potential long - term health consequences.

For now, the new stem cell lines UC Berkeley researchers have created will help scientists understand the first molecular decisions made in the early embryo.

Dr Sturmey continued: «This is a small study, which involved only one IVF clinic, but we believe it is the first to examine the impact of a mother's weight on the development and nutrition of human eggs and early stages embryos.

The researchers at Penn and their collaborators used the Early Embryo Viability Assessment imaging device (or Eeva, developed and manufactured by Auxogyn, Inc.), which records images of developing embryos during the first three days of laboratory culture, to evaluate embryos transferred into the uterine cavity of 177 patients.

In the paper, published May 6, 2015 in Nature, the scientists report using these new stem cells to develop the first reliable method for integrating human stem cells into nonviable mouse embryos in a laboratory dish in such a way that the human cells began to differentiate into early - stage tissues.

With the first spontaneous movements taking place as early as 17 hours post-fertilization and swimming behavior occuring after 27 hours, zebrafish embryos prove to be a good model for the study of development of locomotor activity.

This is the first time that genome editing has been used to study gene function in human embryos, which could help scientists to better understand the biology of our early development.

In the early 1950s, Robert Briggs and Thomas King repeated Spemann's experiments using a species of leopard frog, Rana pipiens, first with a nucleus from young embryos (Briggs and King, 1952) then from older embryos (King and Briggs, 1954); both the younger and older implanted nuclei could still be reprogrammed by the enucleated host cell.

Izpisua Belmonte and colleagues published work in the journal Nature last year reporting that they had been able to integrate human stem cells into early - stage mouse embryos so that the human stem cells began the first stages of differentiation — they appeared to begin the process of generating precursors of the body's various tissues and organs.
