@jacob_hanna Artificially indeed. There is no evidence that humans undergo diapause. However, artificially manipulating the mTOR pathway in mice and humans appear to trigger a similar response. This raises the possibility to control the timing of human embryo development and implantation.

@EPosfai @fredrik_lanner @vincentpasque Beautiful and really important work to raise the standards and criteria for stem cells and #blastoids . Thank you for this @EPosfai . Glad to see #blastoids formed using TSCs have a transcriptome decently close to the one of blastocysts 😅.

@ItaiYanai Would be very complementary to read/write type of review. Not to mention that long review process and incomprehension between authors and reviewers is especially detrimental to young scientists (e.g. PhD students) and discourages them from pursuing research careers.

Reviewers can ask for whatever they want; we are asking for their thoughts and opinions. It is the role of the *Editor* to then make a decision on what would be needed for publication, and to disregard requests that are unnecessary or out of scope

⚠️Attention @Epsiloon_mag il ne s'agit pas d'embryons. Il s'agit d'assemblages de cellules souches (qui ne sont pas synthétisées) qui ressemblent parfois (rarement) a des embryons pendant une période limitée qui ne peuvent en aucun cas former un embryon.

@metricausa But immunostaining is not enough as we don't know yet of stringent markers specific to the blastocyst vs. post-implantation stages. Timing of morphogenesis, sequence of lineages specification, and overall efficiency are easy to assess #looksisdeceiving

We undermine the quality of our lives by torturing each other during peer review. Every #phd and #postdoc should be trained how to review. Only request work that: 1) could change major conclusions; 2) the authors can do; 3) you would do if it were your paper. #qualitypeerreview
