Hidden by the womb, early human development remains cloaked in mystery. To unveil developmental processes in health and disease, pluripotent stem cells can be coaxed into …
In this issue of Developmental Cell, Bolondi et al. systematically assesses neuro- mesodermal progenitor (NMP) dynamics by combining a mouse stem-cell-based embryo …
During development, mulitpotent cells differentiate through a hierarchy of increasingly restricted progenitor cell types until they realize specialized cell types. A cell differentiation …
Developmental genes are controlled by an ensemble of cis-acting regulatory elements (REs), which in turn respond to multiple trans-acting transcription factors (TFs) …
