Efficient dedifferentiation is characterized by robustness to mutation, flexibility in ordering of cellular events and reversal of developmental changes along a single gene expression trajectory.

JNK pathway activity induces spermatogonial dedifferentiation under challenging conditions to maintain the germline stem cell pool and to endow it with potentially fitter cells that have increased proliferation.

NFATc1 is identified as a molecular marker of articular cartilage progenitor cells and a transcriptional repressor of chondrocyte differentiation, providing fundamental insights into the origin and differentiation mechanism of articular chondrocytes.

Single-cell RNA sequencing provides a detailed understanding of the cues controlling in vitro differentiation of human B cells into antibody-secreting cells (ASCs), uncovering a novel pre-ASC population present ex vivo in lymphoid tissues that progress through a germinal center-like state.

PDK1 serves as a critical role for intrinsically promoting T follicular helper cell differentiation and effector functions via controlling expression level of TCF1.

During ES cell differentiation, Yap1 directly regulates apoptosis-related genes like Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 to attenuate apoptosis and promote cell survival to allow for successful cell fate changes.

Nucleosomes at enhancers are unusually dynamic and change histone turnover rates during differentiation.

A novel complex composed of various components of a chromatin remodeling complex, a chromatin remodeling factor and a transcription factor suppresses the dedifferentiation of intermediate neural progenitors back into neuroblasts in Drosophila.

Mammalian germ layer differentiation is characterized by transitions through discrete cell states, which are transcriptionally as well as functionally distinct.

Two of the most commonly mutated growth factor pathways induce a deadly feature of lung adenocarcinoma.
