Developing a model system to investigate the epigenetic mechanisms underlying pluripotency in human cells

Pluripotent human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are a valuable tool for clinical therapies, drug testing and investigation of developmental pathways. Recently, over-expression of four pluripotency-associated genes (OCT4, NANOG, SOX2, and LIN28) has proven sufficient to reprogram differentiated cells...
