Gene expression heterogeneity in the pluripotent state of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) has been increasingly well-characterized. In contrast, exit from pluripotency and lineage commitment have not been studied systematically at the single-cell level. Here a team led by researchers ...

Human pluripotent stem cells offer the best available model to study the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms of human embryonic lineage specification. However, it is not fully understood how individual stem cells exit the pluripotent state and transition towards their ...

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has broad applications across biomedical research. One of the key challenges is to ensure that only single, live cells are included in downstream analysis, as the inclusion of compromised cells inevitably affects data interpretation. Here, researchers ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute provide fundamental insights into early human development by single-cell RNA-sequencing of human and mouse preimplantation embryos. They elucidate conserved transcriptional programs along with those that are human-specific and validate their RNA-sequencing findings at the ...
