Figure Lengend Snippet: A) Brightfield image of PALLY-LY differentiated blastoids in Aggrewells. B) Immunostaining blastoids displays OCT4 (green), SOX17 (magenta), and GATA3 (blue) marker genes distinguishing epiblast, primitive endoderm, and trophectoderm. Scale bar 100um. C) In vitro attached human blastoids analyzed by immunostaining show OCT4 + /BRA + cells 7 dpa. OCT4 + cells label the epiblast territory, GATA6 + the primitive endoderm, and BRA + the primitive streak and mesoderm populations. Immunostaining pseudo colors: OCT4 (green), BRA (red), GATA6 (magenta), and merge with DAPI (grey). Scale bar: 100um. D) Immunostaining at 10 dpa displays OCT4 + -epiblast, BRA + -primitive streak and mesoderm, and GATA6 + -endoderm cells. Immunostaining pseudo colors: OCT4 (green), BRA (red), GATA6 (magenta), and merge with DAPI (grey). Scale bar: 100um. E) Scaled area quantification of OCT4 + and BRA + cells at 7 and 10 dpa. Data are displayed as a boxplot (center line displays the median, and box limits are the 25th and 75th percentiles) (n = 51 from 3 independent differentiations). Student’s t-test, unpaired with two tails. ***p<0.001. F) Pie chart of in vitro attached blastoids that broke symmetry at 7 and 10 dpa. G) Area quantification is displayed as a scatterplot. x-axis reports the scaled OCT4 while the y-axis is the BRA scaled area. Each dot represents an individual attached blastoid that has been color-coded according to the time of analysis. Grey dots represent blastoids 7 dpa and blue dots blastoids at 10 dpa.
