Initiation and maintenance of the pluripotent epiblast in pre-implantation human development is independent of NODAL signaling
18 Nov 2024
Abstract excerpt
The human blastocyst contains the pluripotent epiblast from which human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can be derived. ACTIVIN/NODAL signaling maintains expression of the transcription factor NANOG and in vitro propagation of hESCs. It is unknown whether this reflects a functional requirement for epiblast development in human embryos. Here, we characterized NODAL signaling activity during pre-implantation human...
