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

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.

Automated summary

Two research groups have developed self-organizing models of mouse embryos using stem cells in vitro, which can mimic mid-gestation embryos and provide an exceptional opportunity for studying early embryonic development.
