So exciting to see this in print! Ever wondered how embryonic cells know what (fate) to become during early development? In particular when they might see different signaling cues? We investigated this!

And a lovely cover from Zoe Ruiz and @oliveringe.bsky.social!

Combinatorial BMP4 and activin direct the choice between alternate routes to endoderm in a stem cell model of human gastrulation
Inge et al. show that human endoderm originates from two converging developmental routes with distinct dynamics and efficiencies yet similar developmental potential. Combinatorial activin and BMP4 sig...

XCI-ited to share that @Runumi from our lab recently attended the Gordon Research Conference on "Epigenetic Variation: Mechanisms and Impact across Systems" held in Barcelona, Spain. She presented her work on role of #m6A-RNA in #embryogenesis and dosage compensation #X-inactivation.

Thrilled to share that @Avinchal from our lab presented her work on effect of heat-humidity stress on fetal development and #epigenetic regulation in the recent #GordonConference on "Epigenetic Variation: Mechanisms and Impact across Systems" #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #MaternalChildHealth
