Modelling co-development between the somites and neural tube in human trunk-like structures - Nature Cell Biology Makwana, Tilley et al. generate human stem cell-based trunk-like structures approximating Carnegie stage 13โ€“14 of development. They use them to model and study the development of the thoracic and lumbar trunk.

Lovely little pre-Christmas present to see this out @natcellbio.nature.com! Some ๐Ÿ”ฅ new results in here since the biorvix incl (1) a new RARE-GFP reporter โœณ๏ธ๐Ÿ™Œ, (2) additional NMP quantification ๐Ÿ”ข, (3) no neural tube patterning on RA inhibition ๐Ÿ™… etc. Enjoy! ๐Ÿ˜ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How still we see thee lie.

Complex thoughts go by.

Still not convinced? Don't worry, you have all Christmas to 'mull' it over. Closes 12 January.
