Direct cell reprogramming is a stochastic process amenable to accelerationJacob Hanna
The Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142, USA
Nature 462:595-601. 2009....
Human embryonic stem cells with biological and epigenetic characteristics similar to those of mouse ESCsJacob Hanna
The Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 107:9222-7. 2010..The generation of validated "naïve" human ESCs will allow the molecular dissection of a previously undefined pluripotent state in humans and may open up new opportunities for patient-specific, disease-relevant research...
Pluripotency and cellular reprogramming: facts, hypotheses, unresolved issuesJacob H Hanna
The Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA
Cell 143:508-25. 2010..Here we review recent advances in this rapidly moving field and emphasize unresolved and controversial questions...
Metastable pluripotent states in NOD-mouse-derived ESCsJacob Hanna
The Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA
Cell Stem Cell 4:513-24. 2009..Our findings suggest that stem cells from different genetic backgrounds can assume distinct states of pluripotency in vitro, the stability of which is regulated by endogenous genetic determinants and can be modified by exogenous factors...
Reprogramming factor stoichiometry influences the epigenetic state and biological properties of induced pluripotent stem cellsBryce W Carey
Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA
Cell Stem Cell 9:588-98. 2011..This concept complicates efforts to define a "generic" epigenetic state of iPSCs and ESCs and should be considered when comparing different iPS and ES cell lines...
Transgenic mice with defined combinations of drug-inducible reprogramming factorsStyliani Markoulaki
The Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, 9 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142, USA
Nat Biotechnol 27:169-71. 2009..This approach creates a defined system for studying reprogramming mechanisms and allows screening of genetically homogeneous cells for compounds that can replace any transcription factor required for iPS cell derivation...
Dissecting direct reprogramming through integrative genomic analysisTarjei S Mikkelsen
Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, 7 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142, USA
Nature 454:49-55. 2008..We demonstrate that RNA inhibition of transcription factors can facilitate reprogramming, and that treatment with DNA methyltransferase inhibitors can improve the overall efficiency of the reprogramming process...
Direct reprogramming of terminally differentiated mature B lymphocytes to pluripotencyJacob Hanna
The Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA
Cell 133:250-64. 2008..Our study provides definite proof for the direct nuclear reprogramming of terminally differentiated adult cells to pluripotency...
Reprogramming of murine and human somatic cells using a single polycistronic vectorBryce W Carey
Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research and Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 106:157-62. 2009..In addition we have generated human induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cell lines from human keratinocytes, demonstrating that a single polycistronic virus can reprogram human somatic cells...
H2AZ is enriched at polycomb complex target genes in ES cells and is necessary for lineage commitmentMenno P Creyghton
Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, 9 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA
Cell 135:649-61. 2008..Thus, H2AZ, together with PcG proteins, may establish specialized chromatin states in ES cells necessary for the proper execution of developmental gene expression programs...
Genome-scale DNA methylation maps of pluripotent and differentiated cellsAlexander Meissner
Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, 9 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142, USA
Nature 454:766-70. 2008..More generally, the results establish reduced representation bisulphite sequencing as a powerful technology for epigenetic profiling of cell populations relevant to developmental biology, cancer and regenerative medicine...
A drug-inducible transgenic system for direct reprogramming of multiple somatic cell typesMarius Wernig
Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, 9 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142, USA
Nat Biotechnol 26:916-24. 2008..This system facilitates the characterization of reprogramming and provides a tool for genetic or chemical screens to enhance reprogramming...
Treatment of sickle cell anemia mouse model with iPS cells generated from autologous skinJacob Hanna
Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA
Science 318:1920-3. 2007..The problems associated with using retroviruses and oncogenes for reprogramming need to be resolved before iPS cells can be considered for human therapy...
Single-gene transgenic mouse strains for reprogramming adult somatic cellsBryce W Carey
Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
Nat Methods 7:56-9. 2010..Because reprogramming factors are carried on a single polycistronic construct, the mice can be easily maintained, and the transgene can be easily transferred into other genetic backgrounds...
