This project has been very special to me. I want to thank James @lab-turner.bsky.social who gave me the chance to build my own research line outside of the lab's main focus on sex chromosomes, and to our collaborators Chris Barrington, Clare Critcher, Waz Varsally, Greg Alanis @niakanlab.bsky.social

Delighted to see this out! Human embryos depend on FGF/ERK signalling to specify epiblast versus primitive endoderm cells. Well done Claire Simon and the lab for their contributions! Many thanks to Mary Herbert @josh-brickman.bsky.social @cwhanna.bsky.social labs for brilliant contributions!
Suppression of ERK signalling promotes pluripotent epiblast in the human blastocyst
Nature Communications - The authors show human embryo lineage specification in the blastocyst is driven by differential FGF/ERK signaling, which segregates yolk sac-fated hypoblast and embryonic...
