Investigating the functionality of an OCT4-short response element in human induced pluripotent stem cells. [PDF]
Pluripotent stem cells offer great therapeutic promise for personalized treatment platforms for numerous injuries, disorders, and diseases. Octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (OCT4) is a key regulatory gene maintaining pluripotency and self-renewal ...

Upregulation of long noncoding RNA MIAT in aggressive form of chronic lymphocytic leukemias. [PDF]
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-proten-coding transcripts of more than 200 nucleotides generated by RNA polymerase II and their expressions are tightly regulated in cell type specific- and/or cellular differential stage specific- manner.

Yin Yang 1 is associated with cancer stem cell transcription factors (SOX2, OCT4, BMI1) and clinical implication. [PDF]
The transcription factor Yin Yang 1 (YY1) is frequently overexpressed in cancerous tissues compared to normal tissues and has regulatory roles in cell proliferation, cell viability, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, metastasis and drug/immune resistance.

Expression of Oct4 Protein in Astrocytic Tumours-Histopathologic and Immunohistochemical Study [PDF]
Introduction: The majority of gliomas in adults are resistant to therapy. Therapy resistance has been attributed to the presence of cancer stem cells (CSCs).

Analysis of Oct4-dependent transcriptional networks regulating self-renewal and pluripotency in human embryonic stem cells [PDF]
The POU domain transcription factor OCT4 is a key regulator of pluripotency in the early mammalian embryo and is highly expressed in the inner cell mass of the blastocyst. Consistent with its essential role in maintaining pluripotency, Oct4 expression is

Acoustic Tweezing Cytometry Induces Rapid Initiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation. [PDF]
Mechanical forces play critical roles in influencing human embryonic stem cell (hESC) fate. However, it remains largely uncharacterized how local mechanical forces influence hESC behavior in vitro.

The transcription factor Oct4 plays a central role in controlling the undifferentiated state of embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells. Two complementary papers in this issue of Cell Stem Cell describe the extended network of proteins that interact with Oct4. Together, these studies broaden our understanding of the control of pluripotency.
