This gene is also known to help human embryonic stem cells stay flexible enough to become any type of body cell, a property known as pluripotency.
The debate might eventually be a moot point, as researchers continue to make convincing headway with induced pluripotent cells, which seem to have all the properties of embryonic stem cells but which are created from adult cells.
«This discovery will advance our understanding of stem cell epigenetics and chromatin structures, provide potential mechanisms on maintaining the hallmark properties of ES cells, and help researchers with the rich source of information to better understand some of the unique features — such as self - renewal and pluripotency — of human embryonic stem cells,» said Ng Huck Hui, Ph.D., senior group leader at GIS and a member of the Singapore team that conducted this research.
