Fertility and taxon-specific sperm binding persist after replacement of mouse sperm receptors with human homologs.

abstract：:FGF/ERK signaling is crucial for the patterning and proliferation of cell lineages that comprise the mouse blastocyst. However, ERK signaling dynamics have never been directly visualized in live embryos. To address whether differential signaling is associated with particular cell fates and states, we generated a targe...
