Here, instead of using naïve hPSCs, we report a hydrogel-based strategy that directly generates human blastoids from standard primed hPSCs. A 10% w/v poly(N-isopropyl-acrylamide)–PEG matrix mimics the zona pellucida by providing negligible adhesion and gentle confinement. Within nine days, aggregates cavitate and form epiblast, primitive endoderm, and trophectoderm—including a CCR7⁺ polar subset—attach to the extracellular matrix, secrete hCG, and initiate extravillous differentiation. Single-cell RNA-seq and RNA velocity analyses reveal early pruning of paracrine networks, preservation of an FGF2 core, and later lineage-specific reconnection. Comparative interactomics place hydrogel blastoids closest to day-5–7 embryos and show marked suppression of VEGF, PDGF, and CXCL inflammatory cues typical of naïve-cell models. This minimal, feeder-free niche enables scalable production of blastoids containing EPI, PrE, and TE-like cells from primed hPSCs.</description><dates><publication>2026/04/04</publication></dates><accession>GSE326368</accession><cross_references><GSM>GSM9629939</GSM><GSM>GSM9629944</GSM><GSM>GSM9629941</GSM><GSM>GSM9629940</GSM><GSM>GSM9629943</GSM><GSM>GSM9629942</GSM><GPL>34284</GPL><GSE>326368</GSE><taxon>Homo sapiens</taxon></cross_references></HashMap>
