This review highlights the emerging connection between paternal nutrition‐induced sperm epigenetic changes and placental phenotypes that may influence offspring metabolic health. An accompanying interactive ShinyApp allows exploration of these sperm–placenta gene networks, a framework for future research seeking to explore candidate biomarkers or ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor directly inhibits primitive neural stem cell survival but promotes definitive neural stem cell survival [PDF]
There are two types of neural stem cells (NSCs). Primitive NSCs [leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) dependent but exogenous fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 2 independent] can be derived from mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells in vitro and from embryonic day 5 ...

Hcfc1 and Ogt Mediate Zebrafish CNS Regeneration Through Hippo/Yap Signalling
This work identifies Hcfc1 and Ogt as key regulators of zebrafish CNS regeneration through modulation of Hippo/Yap signalling. Loss of Hcfc1 or Ogt activity inhibition impairs regeneration, which is restored by Yap overexpression, revealing a new regulatory axis that enhances CNS regenerative capacity.

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) derive from the epiblast and have pluripotent potential. To maintain the conventional conditions of the pluripotent potential in an undifferentiated state, inactivated mouse embryonic fibroblast (iMEF) is used as a ...

Endogenous Wnt signalling in human embryonic stem cells generates an equilibrium of distinct lineage-specified progenitors. [PDF]
The pluripotent nature of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) makes them convenient for deriving therapeutically relevant cells. Here we show using Wnt reporter hESC lines that the cells are heterogeneous with respect to endogenous Wnt signalling activity.

Abnormal cleavage patterns in equine in vitro‐produced embryos lead to higher early pregnancy loss
Summary Background Despite significant advances, in vitro production (IVP) of equine embryos continues to lack standardised embryo classification criteria and is associated with increased rates of early pregnancy loss compared with in vivo‐derived blastocysts.

Gle1 knockout mice fail to segregate cell lineages at the blastocyst stage, resulting in very early embryonic lethality. Gle1 knock‐in (KI) mice harboring a pathogenic variant giving rise to lethal congenital contracture syndrome 1 show both known and novel innervation defects, supportive of multiorgan pathology in human fetuses.

Intracellular communication controls the processing of generated signals so that every cell type can successfully respond. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a fundamental regulator of cell communication and signaling through the strict orchestration and functions of its bioactive components.

Morphological and Gene Expression Changes in Cattle Embryos from Hatched Blastocyst to Early Gastrulation Stages after Transfer of In Vitro Produced Embryos. [PDF]
A detailed morphological staging system for cattle embryos at stages following blastocyst hatching and preceding gastrulation is presented here together with spatiotemporal mapping of gene expression for BMP4, BRACHYURY, CERBERUS1 (CER1), CRIPTO ...
