In my Ph.D. research, we used cellular aggregates of mouse P19C5 stem cells that were capable of spontaneously forming body axes and elongating in a manner similar to embryos in vivo. Teratogenic drugs alter the shape of the aggregates, so I used this in vitro morphogenesis to assess whether drugs had the ability to cause birth defects.
