In preprints: humans, the new model organism
James Wells and Ziyuan Guo highlight three preprints that use hPSC-derived tissue to dissect human development and disease.
Get in touch if you would like to write an ‘In preprints’ article for @Dev_journal. We’re particularly keen to see collaborations between junior and senior PIs, and between researchers who haven’t previously worked together.
