It’s reported an Australian-led team of scientists have reprogrammed skin cells to create a human embryo model in a discovery that they describe as a world-first breakthrough.
The team, led by researchers at Melbourne’s Monash University, reprogrammed skin cells into a 3D cellular structure similar to human blastocysts.
They describe the structure, known as iBlastoids, as being used to model the biology of early human embryos in lab settings.
The new research, published in the UK scientific journal Nature, details how scientists used ‘nuclear reprogramming’ to generate the iBlastoids.
The technique involves placing human skin cells on a ‘3D jelly’ scaffold, and reorganizing them into blastocyst-like structures.
They say the iBlastoids are not completely identical to a blastocyst and have limited ability to develop beyond the first few days. But they say it still provides a way to study the early stages of human pregnancy.
The deputy dean of Monash University’s medicine research faculty was quoted as saying, ‘With further research and the right resources, this discovery could open up entirely new industries for Australia and internationally.’
A researcher at Australia’s Bond University said, “This is the first time in humans where we’re making an embryonic structure without any egg, … That’s a big deal.”
The Biblical prophecies (Matthew 24) foretell that iniquity, which is lawlessness toward God and His Holy Word, will increase until it is abounding in the Last Days. Where humanity rejects the role and will of God as a sign the world is nearing the end of this age.
These events and conditions happening now are warning signs pointing to the nearing fulfillment of the Last Days prophecies at the end of this age revealing it’s time to prepare now for the nearing appearance of Jesus Christ for His Church by being born again spiritually into the Kingdom of God as Jesus said we must (John 3) and His Apostles who were authorized (Matthew 16:19) described how (Acts 2).
The prophecy has come true, the perilous times are here. The need is greater than ever before. If each of our viewers would give a donation, no matter the amount, you will help ensure the signs of Biblical prophecy continue to be shared here with the world.
