A blastoid is an embryoid, [1] a stem cell-based embryo model which, morphologically and transcriptionally resembles the early, pre-implantation, mammalian conceptus, called the blastocyst. The first blastoids were created by the Nicolas Rivron laboratory [ 2 ] [ 3 ] by combining mouse embryonic stem cells and mouse trophoblast stem cells.
Blastoids (class Blastoidea) are an extinct type of stemmed echinoderm, often referred to as sea buds. [1] They first appear, along with many other echinoderm classes, in the Ordovician period, and reached their greatest diversity in the Mississippian subperiod of the Carboniferous period. However, blastoids may have originated in the Cambrian.

The blastocyst stage occurs between 5 and 9 days after conception. During embryonic development, after fertilization (approximately 5–6 days in the human), the cells of the morula begin to undergo cell differentiation, and the morula changes into the blastocyst by pumping fluid to grow a lumen.
This complex clade includes a branch of rhombiferans, blastoids, parabloastoids (as sister to the lone asteroblastid diploporitan available for the study), and crinoids (as sister to an additoinal glyptosphaeritid diploporitan). Two eocrinoids form the outgroup, with the ascocystitid eocrinoid closer to the diploporitans than the gogiid. [6]
The Eocrinoidea were an extinct class of echinoderms that lived between the Early Cambrian and Late Silurian periods. They are the earliest known group of stalked, brachiole-bearing echinoderms, and were the most common echinoderms during the Cambrian.
There then followed a selective mass extinction at the end of the Permian period, during which all blastoids and most crinoids became extinct. [28] After the end-Permian extinction, crinoids never regained the morphological diversity and dominant position they enjoyed in the Paleozoic; they employed a different suite of ecological strategies ...
