発生過程の現代的な掘り下げがもたらす様々な新発見と、ゲノム活性の制御の最新の研究とをどう結びつけるかーーその橋渡しにこの本を著しました。最終章では、iPS細胞などのリプログラミングにおける転写因子の作用を解説しましたが、この内容は他書に例を見ません。近藤寿人　link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Sir John was a thoughtful and calm scholar, yet when it came to scientific discussions, he spoke with remarkable enthusiasm and passion. Although he was a great scientist, I will never forget the innocent, boyish smile that he would occasionally show.　(抜粋）

Histone Demethylation Activity of UTX Contributes to the Regulation of Steroid Biosynthesis Genes in Embryonic Gonads but Is Dispensable for Gonadal Sex Determination

Mammalian sex is determined by the presence or absence of a Y chromosome. The sex-specific features of each cell and tissue in the body then develop in response to the sex hormones secreted by the di...
