🥂Congrats to Gao, Li & co for their new @natcellbio.nature.com study: they derive #trophectoderm stem cells from 32-cell mouse #embryos. These cells represent an early trophectoderm state, develop into #placenta cells and organoids and contribute to blastoid generation. rdcu.be/eAKzp bit.ly/4fyZ9Sg

These are the most challenging times for early-career scientists and engineers. My team is doing its bit to help by maintaining and even expanding our database of funding opportunities for early-career researchers. We found 437 of them. Download it freely here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-...
