As the founder and guiding light of Sly and the Family Stone, he was one of the most brilliant stars of the Sixties, a charismatic and pioneering musician who not only fronted the first major multi-genre/ multi-racial/ multi-gender band, but whose songs addressed the turmoil and the spirit of the era and, initially anyway, landed on the side of positivity and self-empowerment: “Everybody Is a Star,” “You Can Make It If You Try,” “Everyday People,” “Stand!,” “I Want to Take You Higher.” He and the group were undisputed pioneers of funk, rock and soul music (and later became one of the most sampled artists in hip-hop history), and their electrifying performance at Woodstock turned them into one of the world’s biggest acts.

Scientists have managed to grow mouse embryos with hearts and brains out of nothing but a stem cell.The lab-built babies were created without any sperm or eggs and managed to live for eight and a half days - that is approximately half the length of time a mouse is typically pregnant.A yolk sack formed around the embryos and allowed them to gain nutrition and, in return, they formed digestive tracts, the beginnings of the central nervous system, hearts that beat, and brains with subsections.READ MORE: Dad who murdered teen who refused to sleep with him at boozy Christmas party jailedThe findings were published on Thursday, August 25 in the journal Nature.Developmental and stem-cell biologist and senior study author, Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz, said: "This has been the dream of our community for years and [a] major focus of our work for a decade, and finally, we've done it".Earlier this month, on August 1, a similar study was reported in the journal Cell led by embryonic stem cell biologist Jacob Hanna.In their study the mice grew digestive tracts, beating hearts and tiny wrinkled brains before they died.Discussing the findings, Zernicka-Goetz, said: "This period of human life is so mysterious, so to be able to see how it happens in a dish - to have access to these individual stem cells, to understand why so many pregnancies fail and how we might be able to prevent that from happening - is quite special.To stay up to date with all the latest news, make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters here.“We looked at the dialogue that has to happen between the different types of stem cell at that time - we've shown how it occurs and how it can go wrong."In both studies, the lab-built embryos were similar to natural ones although

Boffins have described it as the “holy grail” of creating life in a lab after using blank stem cells to grow the embryos.After growing the embryos for eight-and-a-half days, like a natural pregnancy, they developed beating hearts and fully formed brains.
