Signaling Boundary Conditions Drive Self-Organization of Human "Gastruloids"

An error occurred while generating the citation.

Abstract

Morphogenesis requires tissues to sense and respond to their geometry. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Etoc et al. (2016) show that a confined colony of human embryonic stem cells can spontaneously sense its boundary, generating a self-organized TGF-β signaling gradient that patterns it into a tissue resembling a gastrulating embryo.
