Abstract

Tesis doctoral inédita leída en la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Facultad de Medicina, Departamento de Bioquímica. Fecha de lectura: 25-01-2019Esta tesis tiene embargado el acceso al texto completo hasta el 25-07-2020A central question in developmental biology is how a single cell, the zygote, divides and differentiates to generate all the specialised cells that will build a whole organism. The zygote has totipotent capacity, which means that it is able to give rise to any necessary cell type (embryonic or extraembryonic) to form an adult individual. This capacity is gradually reduced during embryonic development, as cells make fate decisions that increase their specialisation at the expense of restricting their developmental potential. ...
