Journal ArticleDOI

Capture of Authentic Embryonic Stem Cells from Rat Blastocysts

TL;DR: Derivation of germline-competent ES cells from the rat paves the way to targeted genetic manipulation in this valuable biomedical model species and will also provide a refined test-bed for functional evaluation of pluripotent stem cell-derived tissue repair and regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Klf4 reverts developmentally programmed restriction of ground state pluripotency.

TL;DR: In this article, a single reprogramming factor, Klf4, was introduced into EpiSCs, which activated expression of EScell-specific transcripts including endogenous klf4, and downstream markers of lineage specification.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stat3 Activation Is Limiting for Reprogramming to Ground State Pluripotency

TL;DR: Findings indicate that Jak/Stat3 participate directly in molecular reprogramming and that activation of this pathway is a limiting component of pluripotency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human naive epiblast cells possess unrestricted lineage potential.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that human naive embryonic stem cells readily make blastocyst trophectoderm and descendant trophoblast cell types, and they were induced rapidly and efficiently by inhibition of ERK/mitogenactivated protein kinase (MAPK) and Nodal signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

A structurally defined mini-chromosome vector for the mouse germ line

TL;DR: The structure and sequence organization of an engineered mammalian mini-chromosome, ST1, is determined and it is shown that it is stably maintained in vertebrate somatic cells and that it can be transmitted through the mouse germ line.
