摘要:
The invention provides a method of effecting de-differentiation of an at least partially differentiated cell or of maintaining pluripotency and/or self-renewing characteristics of an undifferentiated cell. The method comprises increasing the amount or the activity of an Err protein, or a functional fragment thereof, in the cell.

摘要:
Methods of inducing pluripotency in human somatic cells and methods of maintaining pluripotency in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are provided, as well as cells and uses of employing such cells. The methods comprise culturing cells in the presence of (i) OCT4 and SOX2; (ii) at least one of KLF4 and c-MYC; and at least one of PRDM14 and NFRKB.

摘要:
A processing method to trim ends of DNA fragments, exposing the internal DNA part to give original DNA sequence information enabling application of next generation sequencing for DNA samples to be amplified by DOP-PCR or other primer dependent amplification methods. Specifically, nucleic acids are amplified using primers comprising a recognition site for a restriction enzyme, for example Bpml or Mmel. Primer sequences are removed by cleavage with the restriction enzyme.
摘要:
According to the invention there is provided methods for inducing pluripotent stem cells in vitro, comprising introducing a gene or polypeptide of a nuclear receptor and one or more gene or polypeptide selected from the group consisting of Sox, Krüppel-like factor or the myc family, to cells in vitro. The present invention also provides vectors and compositions for producing the same and methods for using the induced pluripotent stem cell for treating a patient in need of a pluripotent stem cell treatment.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for maintaining pluripotency and/or self-renewing characteristics of stem/progenitor cells. The invention also relates to a method for modulating gene expression in a cell. The methods include contacting at least two transcription factors, or a functional fragment thereof, with the promoter region of the nanog gene. One of the at least two transcription factors is selected from the POU- and homeo-domain-containing transcription factors. Another of the at least two transcription factors is selected from the HMG domain-containing transcription factors. The method further comprises allowing the at least two transcription factors to form a complex with a specific binding element within the nanog promoter. The complex thus formed regulates nanog gene expression by mediating transcriptional activation.
