Differential regulation of OCT4 targets facilitates reacquisition of pluripotency

Barriers underlying the inefficiency of reprogramming cells to pluripotency are poorly defined. Here the authors identify a transient interval soon after pluripotency exit that permits high-efficiency reprogramming and is facilitated by OCT4 bound elements displaying unique silencing behaviour durin...
