Deskripsi

Previous approaches to derive embryoids either lack physiological morphology and signaling interactions, or are unconducive to model post-gastrulation development. Here the authors use a high-throughput approach to induce mouse embryonic stem cells into epiblast-like aggregates, which are then co-cultured with mouse trophoblast stem cell aggregates, to yield embryoids with axial morphogenesis and anterior development.
