    Selective Binding of Retrotransposons by ZFP352 Facilitates the Timely Dissolution of Totipotency Network

    Investigators identified the unexpected role of a highly expressed 2-cell embryo specific transcription factor, ZFP352, in facilitating the dissolution of the totipotency network.

    METTL14 Regulates Chromatin Bivalent Domains in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells

    The authors showed that methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) specifically bound and regulated bivalent domains, which were marked by trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 and lysine 4.

    Overcoming the H4K20me3 Epigenetic Barrier Improves Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer Reprogramming Efficiency in Mice

    The dynamic H4K20me3 signature identified during preimplantation development in fertilized embryos differed from nuclear transfer and parthenogenetic activation embryos.

    Reprogramming Human Female Adipose Mesenchymal Stem Cells into Primordial Germ Cell-Like Cells

    Since no information is available about the capability of female human adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hASCs) to generate putative primordial germ cells, scientists compared protocols to produce such cells from hASCs themselves, or from hASC-derived iPSCs.

    An O-GlcNAc Transferase Pathogenic Variant Linked to Intellectual Disability Affects Pluripotent Stem Cell Self-Renewal

    Colonies formed by mouse ESCs carrying OGTC921Y showed decreased levels of protein O-GlcNAcylation accompanied by decreased levels of Oct4, Sox2, and extracellular alkaline phosphatase, implying reduced self-renewal capacity.

    BCR-ABL Promotes Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cell Formation in Embryonic Stem Cells

    Scientists showed in a unique site-directed knock-in ESC model, that BCR-ABL expression tightly regulated by doxycycline controlled the formation and the maintenance of immature hematopoietic progenitors.
