Happy Birthday, Rosalind Franklin. She captured an X-ray diffraction image of DNA and stated that a helical structure was probable. Watson and Crick then created a detailed model based on her results. They initially received credit for the discovery and were awarded the Nobel Prize after her death.🧪

Co-development of mesoderm and endoderm enables organotypic vascularization in lung and gut organoids
Recapitulating the concurrent development of germ layers through the co-differentiation of mesoderm and endoderm within a single spheroid enabled the generation of vascularized lung and intestinal organoids, revealing how the microenvironment guides the development of organotypic endothelial and mesenchymal cells.
