🌀 How does an embryo’s genome “wake up” and begin steering development on its own?

🔗 Long-range transcription factor binding sites clustered regions may mediate transcriptional regulation through phase-separation interactions in early human embryo. Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.csbj.2024.09.017

One of the great accomplishments of the space program had nothing to do with the science of space.

Instead, the impact came from the images and impressions that the astronauts sent back to Earth.
The most famous of these is “The Blue Marble,” an image of the earth from space taken in 1972.
It is one of the most reproduced images ever made, and it had (and continues to have) a powerful effect.
It’s a reminder that the home we share is small, isolated, and fragile. It is an example of how discovery and a new perspective have the power to bring us together.

It’s the same with embryonic development.
It is impossible to spend any time thinking about embryos without being filled with a profound sense of awe and connection.
The details of this shared experience are as foreign to most people as the image of the Earth was before 1972.
We are deeply interconnected with our fellow humans, and the animal world, through this shared rite of passage.
Embryonic development is a journey so fundamental to our lives that we cannot help but be bonded together through its details.

What’s Next For Lab-Grown Human Embryos?
Researchers are now permitted to grow human embryos in the lab for longer than 14 days. Here’s what they could learn.

Thigh bone #evolution got dinos up on two feet

The dinosaurian femoral head experienced a morphogenetic shift from torsion to growth along the avian stem https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2022.0740

They figured out the way in which the femoral head, a critical part of #dinosaurs #anatomy, developed. Inward-turned femoral heads are necessary for fast, effective bipedal locomotion. Its #EmbryonicDevelopment changed completely—even while the feature itself remained constant in adults.
