    HMCES Modulates the Transcriptional Regulation of Nodal/Activin and BMP Signaling in mESCs

    Scientists discovered that the DNA repair-related protein, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine binding, ESC specific (HMCES), contributed to early development by maintaining nodal/activin- or bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-signaling-regulated transcriptional network.

    Transient Upregulation of IRF1 during Exit from Naive Pluripotency Confers Viral Protection

    Scientists showed that the interferon regulatory factor 1(Irf1) was directly controlled by the murine formative pluripotency gene regulatory network and transiently upregulated during the transition from naive to formative pluripotency.

    Epigenetics as “Conductor” in “Orchestra” of Pluripotent States

    The authors focus on how epigenetic factors, including DNA methylation, bivalent chromatin, chromatin remodelers, chromatin/nuclear architecture, and miRNA, could dictate pluripotent states and their transition among themselves.
