Genetic dissection of Nodal and Bmp signalling requirements during primordial germ cell development in mouse

How Nodal and Bmp pathways interact during primordial germ cell (PGC) formation remains unclear. Here, the authors show Nodal signalling via Eomes in the epiblast, together with Smad2 in the visceral endoderm, regulates formation of the mouse PGC lineage, while Smad1 specifies PGCs and Smad4 control...
