An Intronic SINE at Pou5f1 Links Hormone Signaling to Blastocyst Hatching
2026-08-26
Abstract excerpt
Before implantation, mammalian embryos must escape from the zona pellucida, a protective glycoprotein coat that surrounds the blastocyst. This process, known as hatching, is essential for uterine attachment and has been viewed largely as a mechanical consequence of blastocyst expansion and zona weakening. Whether hatching is actively timed by embryo-intrinsic gene regulation remains unclear. Here we show that time...
