This seminar is part of the Manchester Tissue Regeneration & Stem Cell Network seminar series. The Wilson lab identified a bipotent population of progenitors for the anteroposterior axis in mouse, neuromesodermal (NM) progenitors, and showed that these cells are bipotent stem cell-like progenitors. Current research focuses on the factors that control maintenance and differentiation of these cells, using experimental embryology techniques (embryo microdissection, grafting and culture), as well as cell culture of pluripotent cell lines, to investigate whether developmental cues identified in the embryo can be used to propagate NM progenitor cells in vitro, and control their differentiation. I will present our recent data using in vitro epiblast stem cell lines and embryo micromanipulation to elucidate the role of Wnt signalling in specifying, maintaining and directing the differentiation of these progenitors.
