Pluripotency of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Abstract Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells can be generated by forced expression of four pluripotency factors in somatic cells. This has received much attention in recent years since it may offer us a promising donor cell source for cell transplantation therapy. There has been great progress in iPS cell research in the past few years.

miRNA in Pluripotent Stem Cells [PDF]
Embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells are characterized by their ability to self-renew and differentiate into any cell type. The molecular mechanism behind this process is a complex interplay between the transcriptional factors with epigenetic regulators and signaling pathways.

CCL2 enhances pluripotency of human induced pluripotent stem cells by activating hypoxia related genes [PDF]
Standard culture of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) requires basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF) to maintain the pluripotent state, whereas hiPSC more closely resemble epiblast stem cells than true naïve state ES which requires LIF to ...

Porcine OCT4 reporter system as a tool for monitoring pluripotency states
Pluripotent stem cells could self-renew and differentiate into various cells. In particular, porcine pluripotent stem cells are useful for preclinical therapy, transgenic animals, and agricultural usage. These stem cells have naïve and primed pluripotent

Generation and characterization of erythroid cells from human embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells : an overview [PDF]
Because of the imbalance in the supply and demand of red blood cells (RBCs), especially for alloimmunized patients or patients with rare blood phenotypes, extensive research has been done to generate therapeutic quantities of mature RBCs from ...

Non-coding microRNAs for cardiac regeneration: Exploring novel alternatives to induce heart healing
In recent years, different studies have revealed that adult mammalian cardiomyocytes have the capacity to self-renew under homeostatic conditions and after myocardial injury.

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.

Absence of Rybp Compromises Neural Differentiation of Embryonic Stem Cells
Rybp (Ring1 and Yy1 Binding Protein) is a transcriptional regulator and member of the noncanonical polycomb repressive complex 1 with essential role in early embryonic development.

Notch promotes neural lineage entry by pluripotent embryonic stem cells [PDF]
A central challenge in embryonic stem (ES) cell biology is to understand how to impose direction on primary lineage commitment. In basal culture conditions, the majority of ES cells convert asynchronously into neural cells.

A system to enrich for primitive streak-derivatives, definitive endoderm and mesoderm, from pluripotent cells in culture [PDF]
Two lineages of endoderm develop during mammalian embryogenesis, the primitive endoderm in the pre-implantation blastocyst and the definitive endoderm at gastrulation.
