Silencing of core transcription factors in human EC cells highlights the importance of autocrine FGF signaling for self-renewal
16 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Despite their distinct origins, human embryonic stem (hES) and embryonic carcinoma (hEC) cells share a number of similarities such as surface antigen expression, growth characteristics, the ability to either self-renew or differentiate, and control of the undifferentiated state by the same core transcription factors. To obtain further insights into the regulation of self-renewal, we have silenced...
