WDR36 Regulates Trophectoderm Differentiation During Human Preimplantation Embryonic Development Through Glycolytic Metabolism by Shiyu An, Shuyue Hou, Feifei Xu, Huanyu Yan, Wenyi Zhang, Jinfeng Xiang, Haoran Chen, Hanwen Zhang, Lingling Dong, Xiaobin Sun, Ran Huo, Yun Chen, Xi Wang, Yang Yang

“…WD repeat domain 36 (WDR36) is known to play a critical role in mouse early embryonic development, but its regulatory function in human embryogenesis is still elusive due to limited access to human embryos. The human pluripotent stem cell‐derived blastocyst‐like structure, termed a blastoid, offers an alternative means to study human development in a dish. …”

Corps embryoïdes : biologie moléculaire et cellules vivantes by Noémie Merleau-Ponty

“…Furthermore, contextualising the fundamental research based on these interfaces with in vitro fertilisation shows how an embryo created and protected by a parental intent can change laboratories and become a mass of cells or laboratory material. The human embryo must first be inserted into a kinship—then detached from that kinship: one begins humanising it, then halts the humanising process to metamorphose it in a lineage of human embryonic stem cells. …”
