TEAD4 Regulates apical domain homeostasis and cell-positioning to maintain the trophectoderm lineage during mouse blastocyst development

Abstract In mammalian preimplantation embryos, distinct cell lineages occupy defined spatial niches. The outer trophectoderm (TE) forms an epithelial monolayer surrounding the inner cell mass (ICM) and blastocyst cavity. In mice, the Tead4 gene encodes a polarity-dependent transc...
