What gives a cell the possibility to be totipotent, i.e. to be able to differentiate into any cell type? The group of Maria Elena Torres Padilla from IGBMC publishes new results to answer this question in the journal Genes & Development on May, 15th. The chromatin and its histone proteins are involved in this property.

Stem cells: The role of MOF and its complexes
The different action of NSL and MSL complexes on ES cells genome.
June 4, 2014
The team of Laszlo Tora has just highlighted the roles of an enzyme, MOF, in both complexes MSL and NSL, in the growth and differentiation of embryonic stem cells. Published in the journal eLife on June 4th 2014, these results push the frontiers of knowledge on these cells with a very great therapeutic potential.
