Researchers at Biodonostia discover that four inner cell contacts drive the mouse embryo from totipotency to pluripotency

A non-cell autonomous mechanism, based on a minimal number of four inner-cell contacts in the Inner Cell Mass (ICM) of the mouse embryo at E(mbryonic day)3.25 activates the pluripotency master regulator Oct4 and establishes in vivo a very early naïve pluripotent state. Research, led by Dr. Marcos J. Araúzo Bravo from the Computational ... + info
