Deskripsi

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) in culture display a state of primed pluripotency, but recent protocols have been developed that enable hESCs to adopt a naive-like pluripotent state. Here the authors perform a side-by-side comparison of methods used to culture naive hESCs and confirm the role of PI3K/AKT/mTORC signalling in facilitating the induction of naive pluripotency.
