  From subtlety to fate: new insights for the first mammalian embryo fate decision

  In mammalian preimplantation embryo development, when the first asymmetry emerges and how it develops to direct distinct cell fates are two longstanding questions. It remains debatable whether the first bifurcation of cell fate emerges randomly at morula stage, or has been predetermined at earlier stages before morphological distinction.

  IOZ scientists discovered the mechanism of fate determination of embryonic T lymphoid-primed progenitor

  In vertebrates, all blood cells are generated through hematopoiesis. During the definitive hematopoiesis, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are generated and give rise to various blood lineages including lymphoid cells, myeloid cells and erythroid cells.

  COOL PANDAS

  The giant panda has exceptionally low daily energy expenditure allowing it to survive on its bamboo diet. The low expenditure is linked to low levels of physical activity and low levels of thyroid hormones probably caused by a genetic mutation in the thyroid hormone production pathway.

  Scientists discovered Chromatin Remodeling Protein Bptf Promotes Posterior Neuroectodermal Fate by Enhancing Smad2-Activated wnt8a Expression

  During vertebrate embryogenesis, the neuroectoderm is induced from dorsal ectoderm and then partitioned into anterior and posterior neuroectodermal domains by posteriorizing signals, such as Wnt and fibroblast growth factor. However, little is known about epigenetic regulation of posteriorizing gene expression.
