Highly efficient neural conversion of human ES and iPS cells by dual inhibition of SMAD signaling

TL;DR: Noggin/SB431542-based neural induction should facilitate the use of hES and hiPS cells in regenerative medicine and disease modeling and obviate the need for protocols based on stromal feeders or embryoid bodies.

Reprogramming of human somatic cells to pluripotency with defined factors

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that defined factors can reprogramme human cells to pluripotency, and establish a method whereby patient-specific cells might be established in culture.

Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells without Myc from mouse and human fibroblasts

TL;DR: A modified protocol for the generation of iPS cells that does not require the Myc retrovirus is described and, with this protocol, significantly fewer non-iPS background cells are obtained, and theiPS cells generated were consistently of high quality.

A protein interaction network for pluripotency of embryonic stem cells

TL;DR: This tight protein network seems to function as a cellular module dedicated to pluripotency in mouse ES cells, linked to multiple co-repressor pathways and composed of numerous proteins whose encoding genes are putative direct transcriptional targets of its members.

Basic FGF and suppression of BMP signaling sustain undifferentiated proliferation of human ES cells

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that hESCs cultured in unconditioned medium (UM) are subjected to high levels of B MP signaling activity, which is reduced in CM, and the BMP antagonist noggin synergizes with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) to repress BMP signaling and sustain undifferentiated proliferation of hESC in the absence of fibroblasts or CM.

Characterization of human embryonic stem cell lines by the International Stem Cell Initiative

Oluseun Adewumi, +89 more

TL;DR: The International Stem Cell Initiative characterized 59 human embryonic stem cell lines from 17 laboratories worldwide and found that despite diverse genotypes and different techniques used for derivation and maintenance, all lines exhibited similar expression patterns for several markers ofhuman embryonic stem cells.

Derivation of embryonic stem-cell lines from human blastocysts.

TL;DR: The procedures used to develop 17 lines of human embryonic stem cells from the inner cell masses of blastocysts are discussed.

STAT3 activation is sufficient to maintain an undifferentiated state of mouse embryonic stem cells

TL;DR: It is strongly suggested that STAT3 activation is required and sufficient to maintain the undifferentiated state of ES cells.
