Cytokine signalling in embryonic stem cells
1 Nov 2005
Abstract excerpt
Cytokines play a central role in maintaining self-renewal in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells through a member of the interleukin-6 type cytokine family termed leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). LIF activates the JAK-STAT3 pathway through the class I cytokine receptor gp130, which forms a trimeric complex with LIF and the class I cytokine receptor LIF receptor beta. STAT3 has been shown to play a crucial role in...
