The embryo reunited with its membranes in Göttingen.
An EMBO workshop entitled 'Embryonic-Extraembryonic Interfaces' took place in Göttingen, Germany, in May 2015. It showcased the enormous breadth of this area not only by touching on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of development, but also because of its coverage of particularly interesting evolutionary questions and of several medically related aspects. This Meeting Review discusses some highlights from the workshop and the emerging themes in the field.
