Our study “An in vitro model for anteroposterior organisation during human development” is out! nature.com/articles/s4158…@nature@Cambridge_Uni@_Hubrecht A summary: (1/10)
In this study, we used human Embryonic Stem Cells that we disassociate and resuspend together into small, spherical 3D aggregates. Remarkably, these are able to spontaneously break symmetry, and, over 3 or 4 days, they elongate along a single anterior-posterior axis (2/10)
