To read the full abstract: Nat Commun. 2020 Feb 7;11(1):764.The signaling pathways involved in the regulation of early human development are largely unknown and the IGF system has been proposed to play a major role (1). The knowledge of mechanisms and actors involved in early life development is crucial to develop successful strategies for maintaining pluripotent human embryonic stem cells (hESCs).This sophisticated study ...
