Specification of primordial germ cells requires a proportion of the cells in the posterior of the epiblast to reacquire pluripotency. A new paper in Development describes how OVOL2 is involved in regulating the balance between mesodermal fate and germ cell fate during gastrulation. We caught up with the first author, Yuki Naitou, and corresponding author, Katsuhiko Hayashi (Osaka University), to find out more about the paper and their future research.
