8C-like cells capture the human zygotic genome activation program in vitro

Jasmin Taubenschmid-Stowers et al.

Summary: This study discovered human 8-cell-like cells (8CLCs) among naive embryonic stem cells, which transcriptionally resemble the 8-cell human embryo. These cells express markers and elements associated with embryonic development, providing important insights into early events in human embryogenesis.

Rolling back human pluripotent stem cells to an eight-cell embryo-like stage

Md. Abdul Mazid et al.

Summary: This study presents a method for producing eight-cell-like cells (8CLCs) from human pluripotent stem cells, and identifies key molecular events and gene networks associated with this conversion through single-cell analysis. The experiments demonstrate the important roles of DPPA3 and TPRX1 in this process. This research provides a resource to uncover the molecular process of early human embryogenesis.

DUX4 is a multifunctional factor priming human embryonic genome activation

Sanna Vuoristo et al.

Summary: Double homeobox 4 (DUX4) is expressed at the early pre-implantation stage in human embryos and significantly affects the chromatin accessibility of non-coding DNA. It activates newly identified transcribed enhance-like regions and is associated with increased expression of target embryonic genome activation genes.

Insights into epigenetic patterns in mammalian early embryos

Ruimin Xu et al.

Summary: Precise reprogramming progress is crucial for avoiding developmental defects or embryonic lethality during early embryonic development in mammals. In recent years, unprecedented breakthroughs have been made in mapping the regulatory network of dynamic epigenomes using low-input genome-wide chromatin analysis technologies.

S3V2-IDEAS: a package for normalizing, denoising and integrating epigenomic datasets across different cell types

Guanjue Xiang et al.

Summary: Epigenetic modifications play a crucial role in transcriptional regulation, and the development of the S3V2-IDEAS package provides a novel method for reducing noise and normalizing epigenomic data to extract biologically meaningful inferences. This package can be used to identify epigenetic states for multiple features or discretized signal intensity levels across different cell types, as demonstrated using 137 epigenomics datasets from the VISION project.

Integrated pseudotime analysis of human pre-implantation embryo single-cell transcriptomes reveals the dynamics of lineage specification

Dimitri Meistermann et al.

Summary: By analyzing single-cell RNA sequencing data and time-lapse imaging, we investigated the transcriptomic changes during early human embryo development. Our study identified divergence in trophectoderm/inner cell mass transcriptomes between the B2 to B3 blastocyst stages and highlighted potential cell fate markers.

Blastocyst-like structures generated from human pluripotent stem cells

Leqian Yu et al.

Summary: The study developed an effective three-dimensional culture strategy to generate blastocyst-like structures in vitro which resemble human blastocysts. These structures, termed 'human blastoids', are readily accessible, scalable, versatile, and perturbable alternative to blastocysts for studying early human development, understanding early pregnancy loss, and gaining insights into early developmental defects.

Transposable elements shape the evolution of mammalian development

Anna D. Senft et al.

Summary: Transposable elements (TEs) play a significant role in mammalian development and evolution by directly contributing genetic materials and indirectly affecting the evolution of TE repression systems such as KRAB-ZFPs. Despite the threats to genome stability, TEs actively shape mammalian-specific developmental processes and continue to impact mammalian development through ongoing co-evolution.
