    BRD9-Mediated Control of the TGF-β/Activin/Nodal Pathway Regulates Self-Renewal and Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells and Progression of Cancer Cells

    Investigators demonstrated that impaired bromodomain-containing protein 9 (BRD9) function reduced the self-renewal capacity of hESCs and altered their differentiation potential.

    ZSCAN4 Interacts with PARP1 to Promote DNA Repair in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells

    Investigators showed that zinc finger and SCAN domain containing 4 (ZSCAN4) promoted DNA repair by acting with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1), which is a key member of the alt-NHEJ pathway.

    Abstract

    Zearalenone Promotes Porcine ESCs Apoptosis by Enhancing Drp1-Mediated Mitochondrial Fragmentation and Activating the JNK Pathway

    Scientists utilized ESCs to explore the impact of exposure to zearalenone. A mitochondrial division inhibitor was also included as a reference.
