Intracellular Signaling Pathways Regulating Pluripotency of Embryonic Stem Cells
1 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
The cytokine LIF and its downstream effector STAT3 are essential for maintenance of pluripotency in mouse ES cells. The requirement for the transcription factor Oct3/4 for ES cell pluripotency is also well-documented. However, LIF is not involved in self-renewal of human ES cells, suggesting that other pathways must play an important role in this process. The importance of other signal transduction pathways,...
