TLDR
It is shown that the orphan nuclear receptor Nr5a2 (also known as Lrh-1) can replace Oct4 in the derivation of iPSCs from mouse somatic cells, and it can also enhance reprogramming efficiency.

Induced pluripotency: history, mechanisms, and applications

TL;DR: This review summarizes the progress that has been made in the iPSC field over the last 4 years, with an emphasis on understanding the mechanisms of cellular reprogramming and its potential applications in cell therapy.

A decade of transcription factor-mediated reprogramming to pluripotency

TL;DR: The mechanisms underlying transcription factor-mediated reprogramming are still poorly understood; however, several mechanistic insights have recently been obtained, making it more amenable to applications in the fields of regenerative medicine, disease modelling and drug discovery.

Senescence impairs successful reprogramming to pluripotent stem cells

TL;DR: Crucially, ablation of different senescence effectors improves the efficiency of reprogramming, suggesting novel strategies for maximizing the generation of iPS cells.

Dedifferentiation, transdifferentiation and reprogramming: three routes to regeneration.

TL;DR: Current research aims to understand how the processes of dedifferentiation, transdifferentiation or reprogramming work and to eventually harness them for use in regenerative medicine.

Dynamic and Coordinated Epigenetic Regulation of Developmental Transitions in the Cardiac Lineage

TL;DR: A novel preactivation chromatin pattern at the promoters of genes associated with heart development and cardiac function is discovered and forms a basis for understanding developmentally regulated chromatin transitions during lineage commitment and the molecular etiology of congenital heart disease.

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.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Lines Derived from Human Somatic Cells

TL;DR: This article showed that OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, and LIN28 factors are sufficient to reprogram human somatic cells to pluripotent stem cells that exhibit the essential characteristics of embryonic stem (ES) cells.

Formation of Pluripotent Stem Cells in the Mammalian Embryo Depends on the POU Transcription Factor Oct4

TL;DR: It is reported that the activity of Oct4 is essential for the identity of the pluripotential founder cell population in the mammalian embryo and also determines paracrine growth factor signaling from stem cells to the trophectoderm.

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.
