Journal ArticleDOI

Derivation of pluripotent epiblast stem cells from mammalian embryos

TL;DR: It is shown that pluripotent stem cells can be derived from the late epiblast layer of post-implantation mouse and rat embryos using chemically defined, activin-containing culture medium that is sufficient for long-term maintenance of human embryonic stem cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activin/Nodal and FGF pathways cooperate to maintain pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells.

TL;DR: It is reported that Activin/Nodal signalling through Smad2/3 activation is necessary to maintain the pluripotent status of hESCs, and this findings suggest that the Activin / Nodal pathway maintains pluripotency through mechanism(s) in which FGF acts as a competence factor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Senescence impairs successful reprogramming to pluripotent stem cells

TL;DR: Crucially, ablation of different senescence effectors improves the efficiency of reprogramming, suggesting novel strategies for maximizing the generation of iPS cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling inherited metabolic disorders of the liver using human induced pluripotent stem cells

TL;DR: These patient-derived hepatocytes demonstrate that it is possible to model diseases whose phenotypes are caused by pathological dysregulation of key processes within adult cells, and a simple and effective platform for hepatocyte generation from patient-specific human iPS cells.
