The reliable generation of diverse cell types in precise proportions is essential for the formation of functional tissues during embryonic development. Three-dimensional organoid models derived from p...

During regeneration, tissues must translate transient cellular variability into stable spatial organization. Tissue architecture generates a density-dependent window of heterogeneity in the mechanosen...

Experiments using the comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi and the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis reveal that the emergence of a core signalling pathway may have been a key innovation enabling the transit...

Building an in vitro model of receptive endometrium allows investigation of human embryo implantation and early post-implantation development and recapitulates the earliest stages in establishing the ...

Makwana, Tilley et al. generate human stem cell-based trunk-like structures approximating Carnegie stage 13–14 of development. They use them to model and study the development of the thoracic and lumbar trunk.

Stem cell–derived mesodermal organoids reveal how signaling centers guide cell fate and tissue organization.

Gastruloids derived from ES cells mimic embryonic patterning through robust self-organization. Mayran et al. uncover that this competence depends on a cadherin switch regulated by Snai1-driven E-cadhe...

This study introduces single-cell transcription factor (TF) sequencing, a single-cell barcoded and doxycycline-inducible TF overexpression approach that reveals dose-sensitive functional classes of TFs and cellular heterogeneity by mapping TF dose-dependent transcriptomic changes during the reprogramming of mouse embryonic multipotent stromal cells.

Le développement embryonnaire ne requiert pas uniquement l’activation des gènes, mais également une régulation fine de leur répression.

A small-molecule-only strategy enables reprogramming ESCs into embryo founder cells that give rise to a high-fidelity embryo model directly and efficiently. This embryo model replicates embryogenesis ...

Hanna and colleagues show that signaling pathway modulation amplifies the inherent flexibility of genetically unmodified mouse naive PSCs to adopt extra-embryonic cell fate potential. This endows them...

Hanna and colleagues show that signaling pathway modulation amplifies the inherent flexibility of genetically unmodified mouse naive PSCs to adopt extra-embryonic cell fate potential. This endows them with the competence to generate up to E8.5–E8.75 transgene-free stem cell-derived embryo models (TF-SEMs) that complete gastrulation and initiate organogenesis within complex extra-embryonic compartments ex utero.

Activation of an LTR retrotransposon inserted upstream of the Fgf8 gene produces viral-like particles in the mouse developing limb, triggering apoptosis and causing limb malformation. This phenotype c...

Here the authors show that reducing enhancer-promoter distance at the Pitx1 locus increases proportion of Pitx1 forelimb expressing cells, worsening skeletal defects in Liebenberg syndrome. They also ...

The REX element is associated with long-range enhancer–promoter interactions.

A distinction that rewards a promising and already fruitful scientific career.
