In a major breakthrough, a group of Israeli scientists has managed to redefine the boundaries of biology with the world's first "synthetic embryos." These advanced synthetic embryos (sEmbryos) were created by scientists from the Weizmann Institute using stem cells of mice. The process did not involve eggs, sperm, and fertilization. The study was published in the Cell journal.
