CCB 3217Symmetry breaking and self-organization of a body axis from mouse embryonic stem cells Abstract: During development, the embryo must break symmetry to form body axes and patterned tissue structures. Recent discoveries have revealed that stem cell aggregates can recapitulate developmental patterning and morphogenesis in vitro; however, it remains largely unknown how these ‘stembryos’ break symmetry in … Read More
