A protocol for the robust generation of human #gastruloids, an important optimization needed by the field. This is not only a #protocol but also a reasoning behind it and a study of the initial conditions biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

New paper out in Science Advances! 🚀 We show that embryo implantation is not just biochemical, it’s mechanical! Human and mouse embryos push, pull, and sense their environment in very different ways. 🔗science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Can metabolism regulate more than bioenergetics during human development? Our new study says YES! We show that metabolism influences cell fate choice in human naïve pluripotent stem cells, histone acetylation, and trophectoderm maturation. rb.gy/spqr9j @NatureCellBio

Really excited to share that I got an #ERCCoG from @ERC_Research The project EARLYFATE will explore the interplay between DNA damage responses and the very first events of mammalian development. Huge thanks to all colleagues, former mentors and lab members for their support!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 We are so happy to announce that @BPernaute from #CABD was awarded an #ERCCoG @ERC_Research grant! Barbara will study different processes that occur in the early embryonic development! Way to go! 🧬🔬
