      Cheloufi, Sihem; Elling, Ulrich; Hopfgartner, Barbara; Jung, Youngsook L; Murn, Jernej; Ninova, Maria; Hubmann, Maria; Badeaux, Aimee I; Ang, Cheen Euong; Tenen, Danielle; Wesche, Daniel J; Abazova, Nadezhda; Hogue, Max; Tasdemir, Nilgun; Brumbaugh, Justin; Rathert, Philipp; Jude, Julian; Ferrari, Francesco; Blanco, Andres; Fellner, Michaela; Wenzel, Daniel; Zinner, Marietta; Vidal, Simon E; Bell, Oliver; Stadtfeld, Matthias; Chang, Howard Y.; Almouzni, Genevieve; Lowe, Scott W; Rinn, John; Wernig, Marius; Aravin, Alexei; Shi, Yang; Park, Peter; Penninger, Josef M; Zuber, Johannes; Hochedlinger, Konrad (2016)
      Cellular differentiation involves profound remodeling of chromatic landscapes, yet the mechanisms by which somatic cell identity is subsequently maintained remain incompletely understood. To further elucidate regulatory ...
    • Lineage conversion induced by pluripotency factors involves transient passage through an iPS cell stage 

      Bar-Nur, Ori; Verheul, Cassandra; Sommer, Andreia Gianotti; Brumbaugh, Justin; Schwarz, Benjamin A.; Lipchina, Inna; Huebner, Aaron J.; Mostoslavsky, Gustavo; Hochedlinger, Konrad (2016)
      Brief expression of pluripotency-associated factors such as Oct4, Klf4, Sox2 and c-Myc (OKSM), in combination with differentiation-inducing signals, was reported to trigger transdifferentiation of fibroblasts into other ...
    • A Serial shRNA Screen for Roadblocks to Reprogramming Identifies the Protein Modifier SUMO2 

      Borkent, Marti; Bennett, Brian D.; Lackford, Brad; Bar-Nur, Ori; Brumbaugh, Justin; Wang, Li; Du, Ying; Fargo, David C.; Apostolou, Effie; Cheloufi, Sihem; Maherali, Nimet; Elledge, Stephen J.; Hu, Guang; Hochedlinger, Konrad (Elsevier, 2016)
      Summary The generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from differentiated cells following forced expression of OCT4, KLF4, SOX2, and C-MYC (OKSM) is slow and inefficient, suggesting that transcription factors ...
    • Small molecules facilitate rapid and synchronous iPSC generation 

      Bar-Nur, Ori; Brumbaugh, Justin; Verheul, Cassandra; Apostolou, Effie; Pruteanu-Malinici, Iulian; Walsh, Ryan M.; Ramaswamy, Sridhar; Hochedlinger, Konrad (2014)
      The reprogramming of somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) upon overexpression of OCT4, KLF4, SOX2, and c-MYC (OKSM) provides a powerful system to interrogate basic mechanisms of cell fate change. ...
