The differential response to Fgf signalling in cells internalized at different times influences lineage segregation in preimplantation mouse embryos

Lineage specification in the preimplantation mouse embryo is a regulative process. Thus, it has been difficult to ascertain whether segregation of the inner-cell-mass (ICM) into precursors of the pluripotent epiblast (EPI) and the differentiating primitive endoderm (PE) is random or influenced by de...
