Retrotransposons in pluripotent stem cells [PDF]
AbstractTransposable elements constitute about half of the mammalian genome, and can be divided into two classes: the class I (retrotransposons) and the class II (DNA transposons). A few hundred types of retrotransposons, which are dynamic and stage specific, have been annotated.

Pluripotency of induced pluripotent stem cells [PDF]
Recent studies have demonstrated that differentiated somatic cells from various mammalian species can be reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by the ectopic expression of four transcription factors that are highly expressed in embryonic stem (ES) cells.

Chromatin structure of pluripotent stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells [PDF]
Pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cells are specialized cells with a dynamic chromatin structure, which is intimately connected with their pluripotency and physiology. In recent years somatic cells have been reprogrammed to a pluripotent state through over-expression of a defined set of transcription factors.

Induced pluripotent stem cells are induced pluripotent stem cell-like cells [PDF]
Gold is rare and precious, while pyrite (FeS2) is abundant and cheap. Pyrite is nicknamed fool's gold, since pyrite looks like gold and it is even shinier and brighter than gold. It is very difficult to recognize the differences between a real natural gold and a gold-like rock (pyrite) to non-professional persons[1], but we know that all that glitters ...

The isolation of human embryonic stem cells (ESC) in 1998 has created the hope that stem cells will one day be used to regenerate tissues and organs, even though it is obvious that a number of hurdles will need to be overcome for such therapies to become reality.

An ex vivo gene therapy approach to treat muscular dystrophy using inducible pluripotent stem cells. [PDF]
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a progressive and incurable neuromuscular disease caused by genetic and biochemical defects of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex.

The Role of E3s in Regulating Pluripotency of Embryonic Stem Cells and Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells [PDF]
Pluripotent embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are derived from early embryos and can differentiate into any type of cells in living organisms. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) resemble ESCs, both of which serve as excellent sources to study early embryonic development and realize cell replacement therapies for age-related degenerative diseases and ...

Hematopoietic cell differentiation from embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells [PDF]
Pluripotent stem cells, both embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells, are undifferentiated cells that can self-renew and potentially differentiate into all hematopoietic lineages, such as hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), hematopoietic ...

Germline and Pluripotent Stem Cells [PDF]
Epigenetic mechanisms play an essential role in the germline and imprinting cycle. Germ cells show extensive epigenetic programming in preparation for the generation of the totipotent state, which in turn leads to the establishment of pluripotent cells in blastocysts.

Human Amniocytes Are Receptive to Chemically Induced Reprogramming to Pluripotency [PDF]
Restoring pluripotency using chemical compounds alone would be a major step forward in developing clinical-grade pluripotent stem cells, but this has not yet been reported in human cells.
