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.

Honored to see our paper featured on the journal cover! The cover image highlights how the morphological complexity of human stem cell-based embryo models (SCBEMs) has advanced over the past decade.

Scientists investigated whether STAT3 activation can reprogram pluripotent stem cells into early fates that self-organize into embryo models.

(1/8) Very Happy to share our lab’s 3D post-implantation human embryo model, made via signalling reprograming!🙌 Huge thanks to the entire team and our collaborators, special shout-out to Chen Chuanxin (led the work) and Wu Jinyi (computational analysis).

(1/3)A while back, my then-PhD student @H_T_Stuart stumbled on a finding that changed our lab’s direction 👀✨. Turns out, STAT3 mediated reprogramming generates intermediates (Gata6GFP+ cells) going through an earlier developmental stage with increased developmental potential 🚀
(2/3)… this was actually a side finding in that study🙃

However, we thought this could be paralleling early embryo development and have since been exploring it to generate embryo models.
(3/3) Fast forward ⏩ @PandaChuanxin @jywu_wu et al. investigated this in human cells. Curious to see what they pulled off? Stay tuned!
