Extremely excited to share our recently published paper in @Nature where we report formation of a faithful in vitro model of human blastocyst. @NRivron lab @IMBA_Vienna
A long tweetorial alert! [1/29]
nature.com/articles/s4158… Right starting cells necessary to form the correct model of blastocyst. We use naive ESCs, cultured in PXGL medium (developed by Austin Smith’s lab), as these are transcriptionally most similar to blastocyst epiblast; have robust potential to form all blastocyst lineages [2/29]
