•Scientists discover 'pause button' for human life

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute in Berlin and the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna have discovered a way to artificially trigger a diapause-like-state in human stem cells and blastoids.
By slowing down the production of a protein involved fetal growth, they were able temporarily halt the fertilized embryo from growing at its earliest stage - about a week after conception.
The researchers were able to maintain the embryos in this dormant state for 18 days , after which they reversed the pause to resume normal growth.
They published their study this month in the journal Cell .
