Abstract

Mammalian embryonic stem cells (ESCs) can self-organize in vitro, but whether they can recreate early embryonic morphogenesis is unclear. Harrison et al. recently demonstrate in Science that 3D co-cultures of mouse ESCs and trophoblast stem cells self-organize into embryo-like structures that recreate many features of early mouse development.
