Towards Artificial Human Embryoid Models: Engineered and Synthetic Platforms for Ex Utero Mammalian Embryogenesis

Studying early human development is crucial for understanding embryonic defects and learning developmental principles that can be applied in differentiation of human iPSCs into relevant cells for transplantation. Such research requires large numbers of human embryos, however justified ethical barriers makes this impossible. Since the mouse has been a “guiding compass” for all revolutionary technologies applied with human pluripotent stem cells, here we seek to develop biotechnologies in mice, rabbits and non-human primates (NHP) that will likely enable in the future, conceptually and technologically, circumventing this problem in humans. A two-pronged biotechnological platform development…
