The startling experiment could now promise to circumvent the ethical issues surrounding the use of human embryos in laboratory experiments.

The study was published in the science journal Nature where the scientists unveiled the inner machinations of so-called ‘organiser cells’… Dr Martin Blum, a developmental biologist at the University of Hohenheim in Germany, said the “beautiful” finding could put an end to the use of actual human embryos in laboratories’.
