New stem cell model sheds light on human amniotic sac development

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four weeks after fertilisation. This is the first model of amniotic sac development after two weeks.

As described in research published today in Cell, the new model can be used to study the origin and function of the human amnion and help identify previously unknown ways the amniotic sac might support…
