Early embryos kept in check or how embryos coordinate the exit from pluripotency?
Pluripotent state transitions coordinate morphogenesis in mouse and human embryos. Shahbazi M et al., 2017 Nature
Marta Shahbazi
Pluripotency regulates mouse and human embryonic morphogenesis: cells in an unrestricted naive pluripotent state (Nanog+, yellow) fail to undergo proper morphogenesis and do not form the amniotic cavity (left). Loss of naive pluripotency (cells lacking Nanog expression) directs morphogenesis and amniotic cavity formation (right)..
