VILA BORMEY, María Aimée; ANDREU GOMEZ, Nancy; CANIZARES LUNA, Oscar  and  SARASA MUNOZ, Nélida Liduvina. Embrioteca: space for scientific research and teaching at the medical university of Villa Clara. EDUMECENTRO [online]. 2018, vol.10, n.1, pp. 183-206. ISSN 2077-2874.

Human embryos are valuable collections of human embryonic material that honor the institutions that own them. Among the most cited are currently prestigious embryos in Spain, the United States and Argentina. They result from a laborious work of collection and processing of delicate embryonic samples with potential for teaching and research use. There have been many contributions to scientific knowledge from the study of their series, in addition to the invaluable didactic value of the images they treasure. The University of Medical Sciences of Villa Clara presents the modest collection that it has, open to new contributions and to those interested in its consultation. The objective of this review is to expose its scientific and teaching relevance in a context of historical review and current affairs.

Keywords : embryonic structures; embryo research; embryonic development; research; research support as topic; education, medical.
