Check out our new paper from first author and recent PhD graduate @LauraBocaM.

See how interkinetic nuclear movements give rise to tissue fluidisation in an epithelium.

Gastruloids are a great system for studying mammalian trunk formation

But we don’t understand the early events that initiate formation of tissue types in gastruloids & some tissues are missing, most notably the notochord, which is a defining feature of chordates
