Unlocking the potential of stem-cell-derived ‘synthetic’ embryo models

Stem-cell-derived ‘synthetic’ embryo models represent a revolutionary avenue in developmental biology, offering unprecedented insights into embryogenesis and tissue formation. However, the majority of current research on embryo models resides predominantly in the engineering construction phase, with limited substantive applications. This review explores the utilization of these embryo models and their applications in deciphering fundamental developmental processes. We delve into the methodol
