Toward the goal of generating high-quality embryo models in vitro, this study establishes a stepwise protocol to derive trophectoderm-like cells from mouse extended pluripotent stem (EPS) cells. These ...
The team mapped the spatial and temporal patterns of glucose uptake using single-cell-resolution imaging of developing mouse embryos, stem cell models, and embryo-derived tissues. They found that the ...
Scientists in the Brivanlou lab used light-inducible gene expression (yellow circle) and embryo models to demonstrate that, at the start of gastrulation, body-axis formation requires an interplay ...
In mammals, signalling between the placenta and the embryo is essential for successful development. Here, a quantitative, time-resolved model describes the coordinated formation of the mouse embryo ...
