Human Developmental Cell Atlas integrates ~4.6 million cells/nuclei from 4-22 post-conception weeks into 454 refined cell types and maps 114 spatial niches across 6PCW whole-embryo sections.

This study uses spatial transcriptomics to analyze human embryonic arterial valves, identifying novel genes and pathways involved in valve development and highlighting limitations in current genomic databases.

This paper introduces a 3D in vitro model of human somitogenesis using pluripotent stem cells, showing accurate segmentation dynamics and disease relevance.
