TL;DR: Of these genes, BCL2L1 is a strong candidate for driving culture adaptation of ES cells, and single-nucleotide polymorphism analysis revealed that they included representatives of most major ethnic groups.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that within the first quarter of gestation, cloned fetuses are characterized by a high incidence of developmental retardation and placental insufficiency, not linked to gross defects in chromosome number.

TL;DR: 5-hmC represents the first epigenetic modification of DNA discovered whose enrichment is so cell-type specific and correlates with a pluripotent cell state, and is suggested to be an epigenetic feature of embryonic cell populations and cellular pluri- and multi-lineage potency.

TL;DR: A 2-h delay between electrical fusion and activation yielded blastocysts more reliably and with a higher nuclear count than did SA, and inclusion of a microtubule inhibitor such as nocodozole with CB before and after DA improved nuclear retention and favored the formation of single pronuclei in experiments using a membrane dye to reliably monitor fusion.

TL;DR: This review summarises the properties of cells that contribute to their dielectrophoretic behaviour, and their relevance to stem cell research and translational applications.
