The third issue of Lettre de la biomédecine, veille stratégique en santé is finally online! This new issue, in the form of an annotated literature review, is devoted to embryoids: models at the frontier of science and ethics. The development of these models is opening up new perspectives in embryonic development research and possible therapeutic avenues. These structures, capable of partially mimicking the natural embryo, are the subject of much debate in the scientific and public spheres.
This strategic health watch, presented by the Research, Europe, International and Watch Unit of the Agence de la biomédecine's Medical and Scientific Department, is designed to highlight the advances and ethical issues at stake in biomedical matters.
