Curious embryo fact 2/25

The amnion is an extraembryonic membrane that enabled animals to reproduce on land.

It is essentially a portable aquarium.

Our study on marmoset and human trophoblast stem cells is now featured in the latest issue of @CellStemCell.

Dive in for "common and uncommon findings" with a preview from Hiroaki Okae - much appreciated!

@jingleidi @d_siriwardena @CellStemCell @boroviak_lab @Loke_CTR @PDN_Cambridge Thank you very much Jinglei!

[Clara Munger @Cl_munger]

Very excited to share our latest work on trophoblast specification in the marmoset, a superficially implanting species. Thank you to @d_siriwardena for expanding my horizons beyond the amnion.

Online Now! Marmoset and human trophoblast stem cells differ in signaling requirements and recapitulate divergent modes of trophoblast invasion https://t.co/Hw4kr7oM88 #stemcells

[Dylan Siriwardena @d_siriwardena]

I am very excited to share our latest work published in @CellStemCell! We propose the marmoset as a non-human primate model of shallow implantation and have derived trophoblast stem cells that match peri- and postimplantation trophoblast.

Marmoset Trophoblast Stem Cells are here!

Delighted with our article out in Cell Stem Cell today!

Please find a short video about our study and its people below!

Congratulations to the fabulous first authors @d_siriwardena and @Cl_munger

Wonderful breakfast chat on scientific life in general with @francesarnold, moderated by our researchers Lise Boursinhac, Josephin Holstein and Clara Munger. No doubt she has energy enough for a plenary talk this afternoon!

Thrilled to announce our MPhil programme on Reproduction and Embryogenesis at the University of Cambridge!

Apply before the scholarship deadlines and become part of an amazing research community here at PDN and the Centre for Trophoblast Research!

[The Boroviak Lab @boroviak_lab]

Countdown to launching our second lab site at the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute!

Tremendously grateful to be part of this amazing research centre from the 1st October 2023.

Looking forward to plenty of synergies, exciting technologies and great collaborations!

What is the molecular machinery behind symmetry breaking in the human embryo?

Ask the most interesting questions in the field and pioneer technology to find the answers.

Delighted to share my first Co-first-authorship paper published in @NatureComms!

It’s the result of amazing teamwork especially with @t_n_kohler and @JoachimDeJonghe over the past years. Thank you both for this great collaboration and everyone else involved!

[Clara Munger @Cl_munger]

Thrilled to see this project out and very honoured to have been involved! 🥳

Take a look at how microfluidics enabled @t_n_kohler, @AnnaEllermann and @JoachimDeJonghe to uncover new regulators of naïve pluripotency!

[Timo Kohler @t_n_kohler]

Now out in @NatureComms! 🤩 "Plakoglobin is a mechanoresponsive regulator of naive pluripotency"

I can't express how excited I am to see it published!

I think I now have more questions than answers, but I guess that's good when doing science! 😇

Human PGCs and amnion arise from transcriptionally similar TFAP2A-positive progenitors at the posterior end of the embryo.

And - TFAP2A is crucial for initiating PGC fate!
