Bulk cell density and Wnt/TGFbeta signalling regulate mesendodermal patterning of human pluripotent stem cells

Differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) mimics aspects of embryonic developmentin vitrobut is poorly understood. Here, the authors identify bulk cell density as a key parameter directing transition from pluripotency to primitive streak-like priming in hPSCs via secreted LEFTY/CERBERUS...
