摘要: Cell fate commitment of pre-implantation blastocysts, to either the inner cell mass or trophoblast, is first step in lineage segregation developing human embryo. However, intercellular signals that control determination these cells remain obscure. Human embryonic stem (hESCs) provide a unique model for studying early development. We have previously shown Activin/Nodal signaling contributes maintaining pluripotency hESCs, which are derivatives mass. Here we further demonstrate inhibition results loss hESC and trophoblast differentiation, similar BMP4-induced differentiation from hESCs. also show induction effect BMP4 correlates with depends on signaling. activation BMP still required when inhibited. These data reveal hESCs determined by combinatorial BMP.
