Key points from article :
Mass production of mature human cells inside mouse embryo is now possible.
Transiently inhibited mTOR kinase for 3 hours to shock the human primed cells to the naïve state.
Injected 10-12 naïve human stem cells into a mouse blastocyst when it was 3.5 days old.
Co-developed with the inner cell mass in the mouse blastocyst.
Produced millions of mature human cells in 17 days.
Unlike cells grown in vitro, cells grown in vivo behaved in the same way as the cells inside the body.
Potential to develop models with human cells of different organ systems to study various diseases.
Research by University at Buffalo published in Science Advances.
