Collage of stem-cell-based embryo models

Caption

Collage of stem-cell-based embryo models of the embryonic trunk. Those in the upper row have a ’sweet tooth’, depending more on glycolysis to obtain their energy and resulting in a more embryo-like appearance. In contrast, those in the bottom row have less of a ’sweet tooth’, which results in them producing too much neural tissue, and looking less like an embryonic trunk.
