Stem cell-based models resembling murine blastocysts represent a useful system to investigate subsequent developmental processes. While existing cell lines derived from epiblast and trophectoderm can be aggregated to form 'blastoids', some …

Biomechanical cues are instrumental in guiding embryonic development and cell differentiation. Understanding how these physical stimuli translate into transcriptional programs could provide insight into mechanisms underlying mammalian pre-i…
