Rapamycin regulates autophagy and cell adhesion in induced pluripotent stem cells
14 Nov 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cellular reprogramming is a stressful process, which requires cells to engulf somatic features and produce and maintain stemness machineries. Autophagy is a process to degrade unwanted proteins and is required for the derivation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). However, the role of autophagy during iPSC maintenance remains undefined. METHODS: Human iPSCs were investigated by microscopy,...
