Pictures sent from China's SJ-10 recoverable satellite show two-cell mouse embryos (top) four hours before the launch on April 6, and the same embryos that developed into blastocyst (bottom) 80 hours after the launch. CHINA DAILY

The latest results from experiments aboard China's SJ-10 recoverable satellite prove for the first time that early-stage mammal embryos can develop in space.
中國實踐十號返回式科學實驗衛(wèi)星上的最新實驗結(jié)果首次證明,哺乳動物早期胚胎可在太空發(fā)育。
我國于6日發(fā)射首枚微重力衛(wèi)星(microgravity satellite)實踐十號。這枚返回式衛(wèi)星(return capsule/recoverable satellite)將在軌道運行數(shù)天后返回地球。衛(wèi)星的其中一個軌道艙(orbital module)用來進行科學實驗。
實踐十號傳回的高清照片(high-resolution photographs)顯示,在96小時的實驗期間,小鼠早期胚胎(early-stage mouse embryos)在太空中順利完成從2細胞到囊胚的全程發(fā)育。實踐十號衛(wèi)星小鼠胚胎實驗取得重要突破(the most crucial step)。這是世界上首次實現(xiàn)哺乳動物胚胎在太空發(fā)育。
