A new #StemCell-Based #EmbryoModels public dialogue report is published today. In this accompanying article – progress.org.uk/stem-cell-base… – Sandy Starr (our Deputy Director) and Christina Rozeik (Cambridge Reproduction's Programme Manager) explain what led to the dialogue, and what happens next.

Excited to share our latest work Turner Lab 🚨 Pace of development is often adjusted to gestation time ⏱️So how does the extremely short gestation of marsupials affects their embryo development ? 🐨🦘#DevBio biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Protein structures reveal incredible mechanisms, but system-level questions were tough. How much can you generalize from one protein at a time? With AlphaFold that's changed. We predicted 11k enzymes and explore how evolution shaped them #AlphaFold tinyurl.com/mryk6app

Happy to share our peer-reviewed paper on human hypoblast :) Our naïve stem cell based models capture the ICM to hypoblast specification trajectory in the human blastocyst, and reveal a critical role for FGF in this path. cell.com/cell-stem-cell…

Women are born with all their oocytes, which need to stay viable for decades to ensure fertility. How are they maintained for that long? Our latest research in Nature Cell Biology reveals that oocyte maintenance involves exceptional protein longevity. nature.com/articles/s4155… (1/9)

Beyond thrilled to share my PhD work, published yesterday in Developmental Cell. We show that both NODAL and BMP signalling are active in the human blastocyst, but NODAL signalling is not required to initiate or maintain the human pluripotent epiblast. 1/10
