Very happy to share the work of Huanhuan Li et al. While not a natural embryo, you might not have known that if I hadn’t told you. (1/3)

Transgene-free generation of mouse post-gastrulation whole embryo models solely from naive ESCs and iPSCs
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.

Moral of the story: the mouse embryo uses some preplanning as well as some randomness to conduct this important fate decision. Huge thank you to everyone involved + to @currentbiology.bsky.social for the awesome publishing experience! www.cell.com/current-biol...
