Very honored & excited for this partnership with @yzilabs that will help advance Hanna lab based embryo-like developmental model platforms, being developed by #RenewalBio, for a plethora of biomedical applications & reaching fundamental understanding of human organ development.

MIT Technology Review article by Antonio Regalado about our research on human embryo models in this day and age. I didn't agree to interview for this because what i find often as over-sensational writing style (as in tweet below) & i disagree with several things and

The astonishing embryo models of Jacob Hanna. For the "Body Issue" of MIT Technology review, we took a deep dive into the world of synthetic embryos, cell-printers, headless clones, and artificial wombs. Link in reply.

Greatly enjoyed writing this commentary about spectacular paper from Sharad Ramanathan Group on organoids based modeling of human neural tube closure in @eLife Morphogenesis: Regulating closure of the neural tube in humans
Tweet card summary image
elifesciences.org
An organoid-based screening platform that allows one-gene-at-a-time knockdown across a whole tissue has been used to identify the genes that regulate closure of the neural tube in humans.

Interesting work on another way to stabilize transgene free OCT4+CDX2+ mouse naive PSCs capable of generating post-gastrulation ~E8.5 mouse SEMs in @CellResearch1 . WNT hyper-activation seems to be a common denominator between this & other recent papers. https://t.co/DcjSfi7HNc
