Human pluripotent stem cells brought to their highest developmental state, carrying with them the promise of the study
of early human development and advances in regenerative medicine
In 2013, a study was published
in Early Human Development that questioned the effectiveness of tummy time, since no difference was seen in the babies who had regular tummy time and the babies who didn't.
Studying early human development in the academic setting is extremely difficult, in part because of political constraints on embryo research in the United States, so a certain amount of our knowledge is limited to inferences from animal studies.
Researchers in other countries have edited human embryos to learn more
about early human development or to answer other basic research questions (SN: 4/15/17, p. 16).
Therefore, Ludwig - Maximilians - Universitaet (LMU) in Munich researchers argue that bovine embryos might well be a better model
for early human development than the mouse system.
The Hinxton Group, which includes members from eight countries, called for more public discussion and careful policies to govern research using gene editing in embryos, but concluded that the insights such research could provide
into early human development and disease was ethically justifiable.
Like other bodies that have recently reviewed CRISPR and older genome editing methods, the committee also endorsed basic research using embryo editing to study areas such
as early human development.
Furthermore, a 2001 international study
from Early Human Development concluded that the practice of bed - sharing may vary in different cultures around the world, and that it was difficult to ascribe the cause of SIDS to any one childcare practice.
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.
A technique called magnetic resonance microscopy is revealing the secrets of early human development
I'm personally against extinction - training methods, or just shutting the door and letting the baby scream himself to sleep, which have been found to negatively affect mother - baby synchrony, or the link «that helps mothers soothe babies when they're upset, the link associated with attachment status,» according to a study in the
journal Early Human Development.
Lab - based experiments can also help answer important questions
about early human development and the development of sperm and eggs cells, says Robin Lovell - Badge, a developmental biologist at the Francis Crick Institute in London and a member of the Hinxton Group steering committee.
Kathy Niakan, a researcher affiliated with the Francis Crick Institute, London's new # 700 - million (US$ 1.1 - billion) biomedical - research centre, said on September 18 that she is proposing to use gene editing to provide «fundamental insights
into early human development».
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) possess the ability to grow into almost any kind of cell, which has made them dynamic tools for
studying early human development and disease, but much depends upon what they grow up in.

In 2007, researchers reported in the journal
Early Human Development that children who had received no DHA in formula or breast milk during the first 17 weeks of life had poorer visual acuity at age 4, and did worse on language tests showing verbal IQ, than those who fed breast milk.
«Previous to this paper we did not know this much about
early human development,» said Kevin Huang, the study's co-first author and a postdoctoral scholar in Fan's laboratory.
Not only were they able to estimate when fertilization had occurred and also plot the time course of
early human development, they also made an astonishing discovery: Half the embryos were clearly abnormal.
Other potential uses of embryonic stem cells include investigation of
early human development, study of genetic disease and as in vitro systems for toxicology testing.
Researchers from the global Human Cell Atlas (HCA) Consortium have sequenced 250 000 cells involved in
early human development and preliminary data analysis is now underway.
