Chromatin remodeling in embryonic stem cells: regulating the balance between pluripotency and differentiation.

Abstract excerpt

Embryonic stem cells have an unlimited potential for self-renewal yet are pluripotent, capable of differentiating into three different germ layers and ultimately into multiple cell lineages. Key pluripotency specific factors maintain an undifferentiated ES cell phenotype while lineage specific factors work in opposition to promote cell specialization. In addition to these important transcriptional regulators,...
