There are cells in the body known as pluripotent stem cells that are yet to specialize in a particular biological function. These cells maintain the potential to become any of the possible cell types ...

Monitoring certain proteins secreted in human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) culture provides a fast, non-invasive way to identify changes in human stem cells’ pluripotency, thus overcoming a major ...

Partially or fully differentiated cells can acquire, or be reprogrammed for, stem cell-like pluripotency, according to two studies published this week. The research adds to a growing body of work on ...

A new super-resolution system microscopy can assess the pluripotency and differentiation of live stem cells, spearheading a new era in stem-cell research and systems biology. This technology can help ...

image: Differentiation of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) is regulated through a methionine-mediated mechanism, which has now been pinpointed by Tokyo Tech researchers. They have revealed that zinc (Zn) ...

Figure 1. The schematic illustrates the mechanisms governing pluripotency exit, highlighting the pivotal role of PIAS4. By stabilizing KDM5B through SUMOylation, PIAS4 cooperatively modulates H3K4me3 ...

Scientists have identified a key component of cellular reprogramming that may aid in more efficiently creating induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, according to a study published online in Nature ...
