The paper uses a computational model and experiments to show that small micro-patterned mPSC colonies exhibit spontaneous asymmetry in BRA-GFP patterns, suggesting a mechanism for symmetry-breaking in development.

The paper develops a GRN model embedded in cellular agents to simulate hPSC lineage commitment and shows how GRN wiring influences germ layer pattern formation.

The paper develops synthetic gene circuits in human pluripotent stem cells that convert discrete cell states into analog signals by integrating miRNAs with miSFITs for controlled effector protein production.
