Scientists capture human chorion formation in the lab
Original: Capturing human chorion emergence in a dish
A Nature article describes new research recreating the emergence of the human chorion — the outer membrane that helps form the placenta — in a laboratory dish. The work offers researchers a window into a previously hard-to-observe stage of early human development. It is drawing attention for its implications for studying pregnancy, implantation and early developmental disorders without relying on embryos.
Why now: Growing interest in lab-grown models of early human development and what they reveal about pregnancy.
