発生過程の現代的な掘り下げがもたらす様々な新発見と、ゲノム活性の制御の最新の研究とをどう結びつけるかーーその橋渡しにこの本を著しました。最終章では、iPS細胞などのリプログラミングにおける転写因子の作用を解説しましたが、この内容は他書に例を見ません。近藤寿人　link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Histone Demethylation Activity of UTX Contributes to the Regulation of Steroid Biosynthesis Genes in Embryonic Gonads but Is Dispensable for Gonadal Sex Determination

Mammalian sex is determined by the presence or absence of a Y chromosome. The sex-specific features of each cell and tissue in the body then develop in response to the sex hormones secreted by the di...

ヒトやウニなどは二細胞胚でばらばらになると双子になります。この場合も同じように発生するのでしょうか？ウニの場合、球状に発生する正常胚と異なり、半分胚はシート状→カップ状→球状へと“自律的“に変形するのに伴い、それまでの「前」と「後」が接触します。すると、「後」で Wnt/β-カテニンが一過的に“再点火“し、新しい「前」が「後」の対極に再配置され、最終的に「半分」から“完全な胚“が再構築されます。つまり、正常胚で使われる既存の仕組みを再利用して軸情報を再編成する——これが双生児が正常個体に育つ理由の一端です。（@urchin_lab）
