Stem Cell-Based Embryo Models Add a Dimension to Developmental Biology
Shelby Bradford, PhD | Sep 13, 2024 | 10+ min read
Studying human embryonic development is complicated for several reasons. Models derived from pluripotent stem cells representing distinct stages offer a path to studying this process.
