To achieve this feat, the researchers used only stem cells and a spinning device filled with shiny glass vials. The experiment is a "game changer," Alfonso Martinez Arias, a developmental biologist at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona who was not involved in the research, told The Washington Post.
