Mechanisms and models of somatic cell reprogramming

TLDR
Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research (Jerome and Florence Brill Graduate Student Fellowship) as discussed by the authors ) was the first recipient of the WBIR grant. But this work was performed in a supervised setting.

Chromatin Accessibility Dynamics during iPSC Reprogramming

TL;DR: In this article, ATAC-seq profiling of MEFs expressing Oct4-Sox2-Klf4 (OSK) reveals dynamic changes in chromatin states shifting from open to closed (OC) and closed to open (CO), with an initial burst of OC and an ending surge of CO.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of extracellular RNA-carrying vesicles in cell differentiation and reprogramming

TL;DR: This review focuses on the extracellular vesicle-induced epigenetic changes in recipient cells that may lead to phenotypic and functional modifications and the relevance of these phenomena in stem cell biology and tissue repair.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ten years of progress and promise of induced pluripotent stem cells: historical origins, characteristics, mechanisms, limitations, and potential applications

TL;DR: The progress and the recent advances that have been made over the last 10 years in the iPSC field are summarized, with emphasis on the molecular mechanism of reprogramming, strategies to improve the efficiency of repprogramming, characteristics and limitations of iPSCs, and the progress made in the applications ofiPSCs in the field of disease modelling, drug discovery and regenerative medicine.

OCT4: dynamic DNA binding pioneers stem cell pluripotency.

TL;DR: An integrated view of OCT4 research conducted to date is provided by reviewing the different functional roles for OCT4 and discussing the current progress in understanding their underlying molecular mechanisms.

Induction of pluripotent stem cells from mouse embryonic and adult fibroblast cultures by defined factors.

TL;DR: Induction of pluripotent stem cells from mouse embryonic or adult fibroblasts by introducing four factors, Oct3/4, Sox2, c-Myc, and Klf4, under ES cell culture conditions is demonstrated and iPS cells, designated iPS, exhibit the morphology and growth properties of ES cells and express ES cell marker genes.

Model-based Analysis of ChIP-Seq (MACS)

TL;DR: This work presents Model-based Analysis of ChIP-Seq data, MACS, which analyzes data generated by short read sequencers such as Solexa's Genome Analyzer, and uses a dynamic Poisson distribution to effectively capture local biases in the genome, allowing for more robust predictions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Core transcriptional regulatory circuitry in human embryonic stem cells.

TL;DR: Insight is provided into the transcriptional regulation of stem cells and how OCT4, SOX2, and NANOG contribute to pluripotency and self-renewal and how they collaborate to form regulatory circuitry consisting of autoregulatory and feedforward loops.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
