Epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs) are primed pluripotent stem cells and can be derived from postimplantation mouse embryos. We now show that the absence of canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling is essential for maintenance of the undifferentiated state in mouse EpiSCs and in the epiblast of mouse embryos.

Pluripotency, the ability to generate all body cell types, emerges in a disorganized embryonic cell mass. After implantation, these cells form a columnar epithelium and initiate lumenogenesis. During gastrulation, some undergo epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition to form the primitive streak (PS).
