This article features an interview with Paul Huber and Carole LaBonne, who conducted a study on the role of BET proteins in the maintenance of pluripotency and establishment of the neural crest in Xenopus laevis. The researchers found that inhibiting BET activity led to a loss of pluripotency in blastula stem cells and neural crest formation. They also discovered that blocking BET activity extended the competence of initially pluripotent cells to respond to lineage inducing cues. The study was published in the journal Development and was chosen for its fit with the journal's focus on important work in the field of developmental biology. [Extracted from the article]
