The leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF)/glycoprotein 130 (gp130)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway plays an essential role in the maintenance of self-renewal and pluripotency in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. However, in primate ES cells, including those from humans and monkeys, LIF alone is not sufficient to maintain self-renewal. The precise role of the LIF/gp130/STAT3 pathway...
