JNK1 and 2 play a negative role in reprogramming to pluripotent stem cells by suppressing Klf4 activity
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent cells with the capacity for unlimited self-renewal or differentiation. Inhibition of MAPK pathways enhances mouse ES cell pluripotency characteristics. Compared to wildtype ES cells, jnk2−/− ES cells displayed a much higher growth rate. To determine whether...
