For induction of FGF-iPS cells, 200.000 MEFs were seeded onto gelatin-coated dishes in DMEM medium with 10% serum and transduced by pLIB-based retroviruses for mouse Oct4, Klf4, Sox2 and c-Myc. include blastocyst embryos, which give rise to embryonic stem cells (ES cells), and the post-implantation epiblast which gives rise to epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs)[1],[2]. ES cells and EpiSCs are both pluripotent as they are capable of generating derivatives of the three embryonic germ layers uponin vitroorin vivodifferentiation, yet important molecular and functional differences exist between these two pluripotent states. At the molecular level, the ES cell pluripotent state is maintained…
