18 June 2024 A progression of three images against a blue/purple background. Each image shows a simulated mouse embryo inner cell mass with two types of cells marked in pink and green respectively. From the first to the third image, the pink cells slowly move from the outer edge to the inside of the mass.

A 3D culture model to study embryo growth

A recent study by EMBL researchers proposes a new method to grow early embryos in the laboratory. With a 3D culture set-up, scientists can closely monitor the changes embryos undergo around the time of implantation.
