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.

The complex network of transcription factors, immune checkpoint inhibitors and stemness features in colorectal cancer: A recent update.

TL;DR: In this paper , the role of cancer stem cells in tumor metastasis and chemoresistance and discuss both preclinical and clinical approaches for targeting stem cells to prevent their tumorigenic effect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Partial reprogramming as a therapeutic approach for heart disease: A state-of-the-art review.

TL;DR: All progresses in de novo production of cardiac cells using partial reprogramming‐based direct conversion are discussed and an overview about the potential applications of this strategy in vivo and in vitro is given.

The Biophysical Micro-Environment’s Influence on Cell Fate Decisions During Macrophage Activation and Somatic Cell Reprogramming

TL;DR: These observations establish adhesome gene expression and mechanical signaling as influential regulators of cell fate during macrophage activation and reprogramming and may guide future attempts to regulate cell state and fate using biophysical stimuli.

In Vivo Cell Reprogramming to Pluripotency

TL;DR: This Chapter dissects the proof-of-principle studies that demonstrated that cellular reprogramming to pluripotency can be induced in vivo, in spite of unfavorable pro-differentiation signals present within the tissues.

Transient Reprogramming of Neonatal Cardiomyocytes to a Proliferative Dedifferentiated State

TL;DR: The results to date suggest that transient reprogramming could be a feasible strategy to recapitulate regenerative mechanisms of lower vertebrates and inform direct gene therapy approaches to cardiac regenerative medicine.

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.
