News New research: A transient transcriptional activation governs implantating embryo morphogenesis Posted on 2024/07/01 DGCR8 acts as a transcriptional repressor by binding to target nascent RNAs and sequestering FLII. During implantation, ERK-induced FLII phosphorylation enables dissociation of the DGCR8/FLII complex and formation of the FLII/JUN complex, transiently activating cell migration genes to promote morphogenesis and establish poised pluripotency in implanting embryos. This research is published on Molecular Cell. New research: Capturing totipotency in human cells through spliceosomal repression Posted on 2024/06/05 Two states of totipotency could be captured using splicing inhibition as a handle to reprogram human pluripotent stem cells. The first transient represents a distinct ZGA-like state that could subsequently transition into stable, totipotent blastomere-like cells that express pre-ZGA-specific genes. This research is published on Cell. Congratulation to three new doctors!
