Mouse embryo models built from stem cells take shape in a dish

Nature. 2022 Oct;610(7930):39-40. doi: 10.1038/d41586-022-03075-y.

Abstract

Two groups have grown self-organizing models of mouse embryos from stem cells in vitro. The models mimic mid-gestation embryos, providing an unparalleled opportunity to study early embryonic development.

Keywords: Developmental biology; Stem cells.
