Cells of the mammalian cochlea can be reprogrammed to produce mechanosensory hair cells, but epigenetic changes in the cochlea make this process less efficient with age.
Transiently reprogramming human fibroblasts up to the maturation phase rejuvenates cells according to several aging markers whilst enabling them to return to their original identity.
Increased Notch signaling enhances germ cell reprograming in C. elegans by antagonizing PRC2-mediated repression, which results in the activation of UTX-1 and other reprograming-promoting genes.
A model of in vitro human corticogenesis identifies alterations in gene expression caused by loss of 16p11.2 CNV genes in hiPSC-derived progenitor cells.

Single cell RNA sequencing reveals that mouse embryonic stem cells can be differentiated into the same terminal motor neuron state via distinct differentiation paths, one of which includes a surprising intermediate state not found in embryos.
Pioneering activity may be a property of all transcription factors with sufficient affinity for their targets rather than a property of specific classes of transcription factors.

Partial chemical reprogramming is able to reduce the biological age of cells by diverting them to a different metabolic state marked by a strong upregulation of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.

RNA-binding protein SRSF3 mediates critical changes in RNA processing of pluripotency genes, which reveals functional consequences of regulated RNA processing during stem cell self-renewal and early development.
