Surveillance for Secure Differentiation

Publication date: 5 January 2017
Source:Cell Stem Cell, Volume 20, Issue 1
Author(s): William B. Hamilton, Joshua M. Brickman
The precise place and time where embryonic differentiation begins is regulated by regionalized signaling. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Wang et al. (2017) investigate how converging Wnt and Nodal signals promote mesendoderm through a p53, Wnt3 feed-forward loop, pointing to a mechanism by which cells gauge time and fitness during differentiation.
