[HTML][HTML] Regulatory principles of pluripotency: from the ground state up

JA Hackett, MA Surani - Cell stem cell, 2014 - cell.com
Pluripotency is the remarkable capacity of a single cell to engender all the specialized cell
types of an adult organism. This property can be captured indefinitely through derivation of …

[HTML][HTML] Lin28: primal regulator of growth and metabolism in stem cells

N Shyh-Chang, GQ Daley - Cell stem cell, 2013 - cell.com
In recent years, the highly conserved Lin28 RNA-binding proteins have emerged as factors

H3K9 methylation is a barrier during somatic cell reprogramming into iPSCs

J Chen, HE Liu, J Liu, J Qi, B Wei, J Yang, H Liang… - Nature …, 2013 - nature.com
The induction of pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) by defined factors is poorly understood
stepwise. Here, we show that histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) methylation is the primary …

Induction of a human pluripotent state with distinct regulatory circuitry that resembles preimplantation epiblast
