Event Description

By studying the mouse blastocyst and its derived stem cells, we have been able to identify signaling pathways and transcription factors that specify pluripotent versus extraembryonic cell fate. New tools of single cell genomics and live imaging and are providing insights into the dynamics of these processes in unprecedented detail.
