Abstract:
The sequential change from totipotency to multipotency occurs during early mammalian embryo development. However, due to the lack of cellular models to recapitulate the distinct potency of stem cells at each stage, their molecular and cellular characteristics remain ambiguous. The establishment of isogenic naïve and primed pluripotent stem cells to represent the pluripotency in the inner cell mass of the pre-implantation blastocyst and in the epiblast from the post-implantation embryo allows the understanding of the distinctive characteristics of two different states of pluripotent stem cells. This review discusses the prominent disparities between naïve and primed pluripotency, including signaling pathways, metabolism, and epigenetic status, ultimately facilitating a comprehensive understanding of their significance during early mammalian embryonic development.

Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...
