Differential methylation of tissue- and cancer-specific CpG island shores distinguishes human induced pluripotent stem cells, embryonic stem cells and fibroblasts.

TL;DR: Substantial hypermethylation and hypomethylation of cytosine-phosphate-guanine island shores in nine human iPS cell lines as compared to their parental fibroblasts are found, suggesting two mechanisms for epigenetic reprogramming in iPS cells and cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Live cell imaging distinguishes bona fide human iPS cells from partially reprogrammed cells

TL;DR: Using serial live imaging of human fibroblasts undergoing reprogramming to identify distinct colony types that morphologically resemble embryonic stem cells yet differ in molecular phenotype and differentiation potential, it is determined that only one colony type represents true iPS cells, whereas the others represent reprograming intermediates.
