Gating pluripotency via nuclear pores

Trends Mol Med. 2014 Jan;20(1):1-7. doi: 10.1016/j.molmed.2013.10.003. Epub 2013 Nov 7.

Abstract

In recent years, growing evidence has pointed to the interesting idea that pluripotency might be regulated by a nuclear-pore-coordinated network that controls the level of pluripotency factors in the nucleus. A thorough understanding of this process might improve our comprehension of cell pluripotency and differentiation during embryogenesis, as well as aiding the development of novel models for studying human diseases.
