China's Tianzhou-10 cargo, launched from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site on Monday morning, delivered payloads for scientific experiments to the space station to support cutting-edge research in life sciences and technologies essential to humanity's long-term residence in space. The experimental cargo includes zebrafish embryos, mouse embryos, and stem cell-derived artificial human embryos.
The artificial human embryos, though not true life forms and unable to develop into human babies, will help simulate the earliest stages of human development. Scientists hope to take the first step in basic research to solve the issue of human reproduction in space through this project. #Trending #SpaceChina
