    GSK-3484862 Targets DNMT1 for Degradation in Cells

    Researchers showed that GSK-3484862 targets DNMT1 for protein degradation in both cancer cell lines and murine ESCs. DNMT1 depletion was rapid, taking effect within hours following GSK-3484862 treatment, leading to global hypomethylation.

    Apicobasal RNA Asymmetries Regulate Cell Fate in the Early Mouse Embryo

    Scientists uncovered apical-to-basal RNA asymmetries in outer blastomeres of 16-cell stage mouse preimplantation embryos. Basally directed RNA transport was facilitated in a microtubule- and lysosome-mediated manner.

    Ablation of ZC3H11A Causes Early Embryonic Lethality and Dysregulation of Metabolic Processes

    The authors reported the generation and phenotypic characterization of Zc3h11a knockout mice. Heterozygous null Zc3h11a mice were born at the expected frequency without distinguishable phenotypic differences compared with wild-type mice.

    Mesodermal FGF and BMP Govern the Sequential Stages of Zebrafish Thyroid Specification

    By analyzing Pax2a and Nkx2.4b expression dynamics in relation to endodermal FGF and BMP signaling activities in zebrafish embryos, researchers identified a Pax2a-expressing thyroid progenitor population that shows enhanced FGF signaling but lacks Nkx2.4b expression and BMP signaling.
