It's absolutely vital to examine just how accurate our cell models are. Thanks to everyone involved for their hard work! 🎊

Online now: Single-cell assessment of primary and stem cell-derived human trophoblast organoids as placenta-modeling platforms dlvr.it/T2pJsF

🗞️ "Single-cell assessment of primary and stem cell-derived human trophoblast organoids as placenta-modeling platforms". ⤵️ University of British Columbia BC Children's Hospital Research Institute With #NSERCsupport.

The Beristain Lab evaluated how #organoids derived from first-trimester trophoblasts or human #trophoblast stem cell lines reproduce developmental cell trajectories and transcriptional regulatory processes. Check out their study in Developmental Cell! ✅ bit.ly/49tjfJG

This week, we've profiled a new publication by Matthew James Shannon and the Alexander Beristain Lab from BC Children's Hospital Research Institute and UBC Medicine. This study provides a new resource to inform trophoblast model selection! See the abstract, results, and their tips and tricks: bit.ly/3P0Ngsu

An underdeveloped placenta can lead to long-term health issues. Dr. Alexander Beristain’s lab at BC Children's Hospital Research Institute is investigating new stem cell-based tools that model a human placenta to find answers that can positively impact children’s health.
