AXL, MERTK and GAS1 modulation comprise a discrete aspect of survival signals engaged during loss of pluripotency associated with TE differentiation in human embryonic stem cells.
Abstract
We measured total transcription in the inner cell mass (ICM) and the trophectoderm (TE) of the human embryo to understand the mechanisms underlying TE commitment. We describe here discovery of RTK including Axl and MERTK as important for lineage specification in embryonic stem cells of the human embryo.
