MAIN FINDING: Gastruloids use substrate adhesion to generate a body axis, altering traditional morphogenetic routes.
KEY EVIDENCE: Early gastruloids adhere to laminin, while later stages also use fibronectin and collagen, reflecting embryonic development.
APPROACH: The study utilized pharmacological methods to assess how cytoskeletal components influence morphology based on substrate type.
SIGNIFICANCE: Findings reveal tissue adaptability in morphology, offering insights for developmental biology and tissue engineering strategies.
