They also explore how the cell building blocks of development can reappear later in life in brain cancers such as glioblastoma.

“ISSCR 2021 Day 5” Featuring Dr. Nicolas Rivron Jun 26, 2021

Show notes

Dr. Nicolas Rivron is a Group Leader at IMBA. The Rivron group recreates embryonic development using mammalian stem cells in a dish to better understand the encoded principles of self-organization. They observe both blastocysts and blastoids to study how self-organization contributes to multicellular patterning and cellular decision making.
