Microscopic view of an embryoid body. Dielectrophoresis is used to make aggregates of mouse embryonic stem cells between electrode castellation. The cells are arranged in a tightly packed 3D architecture to facilitate cell-cell communication. Upon aggregation differentiation is initiated and the cells begin to recapitulate embryonic development. Embryoid bodies are important as they may serve as a good model to study earliest stages of development.
