    Abstract: The current disclosure provides methods for reprogramming mammalian somatic cells by regulating the expression of endogenous cellular genes. Cellular reprogramming of somatic cells can be induced by activating the transcription of embryonic stem cell-associated genes (e.g., oct.3/4 ) and suppressing the transcription of somatic cell-specific and/or cell death-associated genes. The endogenous transcription machinery can be modulated using synthetic transcription factors (activators and suppressors), to allow for faster, and more efficient nuclear reprogramming under conditions amenable for clinical and commercial applications. The current disclosure further provides cells obtained from such methods, along with therapeutic methods for using such cells for the treatment of diseases amendable to stem cell therapy, as well as kits for such uses.

    Abstract: Here is provided a novel differentiation protocol, which was experimentally shown to give rise to corneal epithelial precursor cells or early pigmented RPE precursor cells in defined and xeno-free conditions. The early precursor cells may be further maturated towards corneal epithelium cells, stratified corneal epithelium or mature RPE cells. Such cells may contribute to treatment and research of corneal and retinal conditions, diseases, pathologies as well as toxicology and drug development.

    Abstract: The 3 '-5' exonuclease, Dis312, is responsible for the decay of uridylated pre-let-7 miRNA. Biochemical reconstitution assays revealed that 3' oligouridylation stimulates Dis312 activity in vitro, and knockdown of Dis312 in mouse embryonic stem cells leads to the stabilization of pre-let-7 miRNA. These Dis312-depleted stem cells displayed elevated expression of pluripotency genes and delayed differentiation. The present disclosure establishes 3' oligouridylation as an RNA decay signal for Dis312 and identifies the first physiological RNA substrate of this exonuclease.
