Gastruloids enable modeling of the earliest stages of human cardiac and hepatic vascularization

Abstract excerpt

Although model organisms have provided insight into the earliest stages of cardiac and hepatic vascularization, we know very little about this process in humans because of ethical restrictions and the technical difficulty of obtaining embryos during very early development. In this study, we demonstrate that micropatterned human pluripotent stem cell-derived gastruloids enable in vitro modeling of the earliest...
