Signaling pathways in mammalian preimplantation development: Linking cellular phenotypes to lineage decisions.

Abstract excerpt

The first stages of mammalian development, before implantation of the embryo in the maternal uterus, result in the establishment of three cell populations in the blastocyst: trophectoderm, epiblast, and primitive endoderm. These events involve only a small number of cells, and are initiated by morphological differences among them related to cell adhesion and polarity. Much attention has been paid to the master...
