Heterogeneities in Nanog Expression Drive Stable Commitment to Pluripotency in the Mouse Blastocyst

The pluripotent epiblast (EPI) is the founder tissue of almost all somatic cells. EPI and primitive endoderm (PrE) progenitors arise from the inner cell mass (ICM) of the blastocyst-stage embryo. The EPI lineage is distinctly identified by its expression of pluripotency-associated factors. Many of t...
