Caption

Top-down view of circular heX-Embryoid model showing the interface of engineered induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) forming the green outer layer and non-engineered iPSCs forming the inner layer where processes that mimic early embryonic organization will occur. The cells surrounding this circular area are similar to the embryonic yolk sac.
