The invention relates to a method of generating an in vitro endometrium assembloid comprising growing endometrial stromal cells inside a hydrogel matrix and layering cells and/or fragments from endometrial epithelial organoids on top, thereby generating a three-dimensional endometrium assembloid comprising a stromal compartment, an outer luminal epithelial layer and a functional secretory glandular endometrium. The invention further relates to an in vitro endometrium assembloid produced according to the methods defined herein. Also provided are methods for determining embryo implantation ability and/or window of receptibility to embryo implantation and for screening for embryo implantation-modulating agents comprising, providing the in vitro endometrium assembloid defined herein. The invention further relates to the use of three sequential human embryo media (HEM) for culturing human stem cell based embryo-like (blastoids) or human blastocysts, and to the compositions of the three media.

METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR PRODUCING GRANULOSA-LIKE CELLS

Provided herein are methods and compositions for differentiating induced pluripotent stem cells into granulosa-like cells by overexpressing transcription factors such as NR5A1 and a RUNX family protein (e.g., RUNXI and/or RUNX2).
