TLDR
Observations indicate that C/EBPalpha and beta remodel the transcription network of B cells into that of macrophages through a series of parallel and sequential changes that require endogenous PU.1.

Master Transcription Factors and Mediator Establish Super-Enhancers at Key Cell Identity Genes

TL;DR: In this article, the ESC master transcription factors form unusual enhancer domains at most genes that control the pluripotent state, called super-enhancers, which consist of clusters of enhancers that are densely occupied by the master regulators and Mediator.

Direct conversion of fibroblasts to functional neurons by defined factors

TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of three transcription factors, Ascl1, Brn2 (also called Pou3f2) and Myt1l, was used to convert mouse embryonic and postnatal fibroblasts into functional neurons in vitro.

Invited speakers; direct conversion of fibroblasts to functional neurons by defined factors

M Wernig
TL;DR: This work identified a combination of only three factors, Ascl1, Brn2 and Myt1l, that suffice to rapidly and efficiently convert mouse embryonic and postnatal fibroblasts into functional neurons in vitro, and induced neuronal (iN) cells express multiple neuron-specific proteins, generate action potentials and form functional synapses.

Hematopoiesis: an evolving paradigm for stem cell biology.

TL;DR: Studies of hematopoiesis provide critical insights of general relevance to other areas of stem cell biology including the role of cellular interactions in development and tissue homeostasis, lineage programming and reprogramming by transcription factors, and stage- and age-specific differences in cellular phenotypes.

Master Transcription Factors and Mediator Establish Super-Enhancers at Key Cell Identity Genes

TL;DR: It is reported here that the ESC master transcription factors form unusual enhancer domains at most genes that control the pluripotent state, which consist of clusters of enhancers that are densely occupied by the master regulators and Mediator.

Blood Monocytes Consist of Two Principal Subsets with Distinct Migratory Properties

TL;DR: Using a murine adoptive transfer system to probe monocyte homing and differentiation in vivo, two functional subsets among murine blood monocytes are identified: a short-lived CX(3)CR1(lo)CCR2(+)Gr1(+) subset that is actively recruited to inflamed tissues and a CX (3) CR1(hi)CCS1-dependent recruitment to noninflamed tissues.

A clonogenic common myeloid progenitor that gives rise to all myeloid lineages

TL;DR: The prospective identification, purification and characterization, using cell-surface markers and flow cytometry, of a complementary clonogenic common myeloid progenitor that gives rise to all myeloids lineages is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Commitment to the B-lymphoid lineage depends on the transcription factor Pax5.

TL;DR: It is shown that pro-B cells lacking Pax5 are also incapable of in vitro B-cell differentiation unless Pax5 expression is restored by retroviral transduction, and Pax5 plays an essential role in B-lineage commitment by suppressing alternative lineage choices.
Journal ArticleDOI

Absence of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor signaling and neutrophil development in CCAAT enhancer binding protein α-deficient mice

TL;DR: A model by which transcription factors can direct the differentiation of multipotential precursors through activation of expression of a specific growth factor receptor, allowing proliferation and differentiation in response to a specific extracellular signal is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcription factors, normal myeloid development, and leukemia.

TL;DR: In the hematopoietic system, stem cells undergo a process of commitment to multipotential progenitors, which in turn give rise to mature blood cells.
