Suppression of ERK signalling promotes pluripotent epiblast in the human blastocyst

Claire S. Simon, Afshan McCarthy, Laura M. Woods…·Kathy K. Niakan

The paper shows that inhibiting ERK signaling expands epiblast cells capable of becoming naive pluripotent stem cells in humans, while FGF stimulation expands hypoblast markers.

The SPARC complex defines RNAPII promoters in Trypanosoma brucei

Desislava P. Staneva, Stefan M. Bresson, Tatsiana Auchynnikava…·Robin C. Allshire

The paper identifies the SPARC complex in Trypanosoma brucei, showing it defines RNAPII promoters and regulates transcription start site positioning and directionality.
