The first cell fate choice in mouse development is the segregation of the embryonic inner cell mass and the extra-embryonic trophectoderm. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Korotkevic and colleagues (2017) show that the interplay between cell polarization and cell-cell contact drives the segregation of these lineages, providing a framework for self-organization in development.
