Human embryonic stem cells (hES) are unique in their pluripotency and capacity for self-renewal. Therefore, we have studied the differences in the level of chromatin condensation in pluripotent and all-trans retinoic acid-differentiated hES cells. Nuclear patterns of the Oct4 (6p21.33)
Loss of heterochromatin protein 1 gamma reduces the number of primordial germ cells via impaired cell cycle progression in mice.

Differentiation-independent fluctuation of pluripotency-related transcription factors and other epigenetic markers in embryonic stem cell colonies.
Understanding the physical mechanisms governing nuclear mechanics is important as it can impact gene expression and development. However, how cell nuclei respond to external cues such as heat is not well understood. Here, we studied the material properties of isolated
