Phosphoproteomics identifies a bimodal EPHA2 receptor switch that promotes embryonic stem cell differentiation [PDF]
Embryonic Stem Cell (ESC) differentiation requires complex cell signalling network dynamics, although the key molecular events remain poorly understood.

LSD1-mediated enhancer silencing attenuates retinoic acid signalling during pancreatic endocrine cell development. [PDF]
Developmental progression depends on temporally defined changes in gene expression mediated by transient exposure of lineage intermediates to signals in the progenitor niche.

Wnt Signaling in Neural Crest Ontogenesis and Oncogenesis. [PDF]
Neural crest (NC) cells are a temporary population of multipotent stem cells that generate a diverse array of cell types, including craniofacial bone and cartilage, smooth muscle cells, melanocytes, and peripheral neurons and glia during embryonic ...

Cfp1 is required for gene expression dependent H3K4me3 and H3K9 acetylation in embryonic stem cells [PDF]
BackgroundTrimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) accumulates at promoters in a gene activity dependent manner. The Set1 complex is responsible for most H3K4me3 in somatic cells and contains the conserved subunit Cfp1, which is implicated in ...

Caspase dependent programmed cell death in developing embryos: a potential target for therapeutic intervention against pathogenic nematodes. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Successful embryogenesis is a critical rate limiting step for the survival and transmission of parasitic worms as well as pathology mediated by them.

Modeling human trophoblast, the placental epithelium at the maternal fetal interface. [PDF]
Appropriate human trophoblast lineage specification and differentiation is crucial for the establishment of normal placentation and maintenance of pregnancy. However, due to the lack of proper modeling systems, the molecular mechanisms of these processes

Sensitive windows for within- and trans-generational plasticity of anti-predator defences
Transgenerational plasticity could be an important mechanism for adaptation to variable environments in addition to within-generational plasticity. But its potential for adaptation may be restricted to specific developmental windows that are highly ...

Exosomes as secondary inductive signals involved in kidney organogenesis
The subfraction of extracellular vesicles, called exosomes, transfers biological molecular information not only between cells but also between tissues and organs as nanolevel signals.

Controlled differentiation of embryonic stem cells is an essential tool in stem cell research. In this protocol, we describe a simple differentiation protocol involving the induction of embryoid body formation in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC) using ...
