Straight to the X: Modeling Human X Chromosome Inactivation in hESCs by FGF Signal Blockade

Research output: Contribution to journalComment/debate

Abstract

In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, An et al. (2020) provide a model to study human X chromosome inactivation. They followed X chromosome activity and traced cellular heterogeneity in naive hESCS, showed that it is caused by incomplete blockade of FGF-signaling, and in doing so isolated cells resembling pre-implantation epiblasts.
