Researchers have identified two key proteins that act as genetic ‘architects’, creating the blueprint needed by embryos during the earliest stages of their development. Previous work by the research team showed that the protein MOZ could relay external ‘messages’ to the developing embryo, revealing a mechanism for how the environment could affect development in very early pregnancy.
