Long non-coding RNA GAS5 controls human embryonic stem cell self-renewal by maintaining NODAL signalling

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are known to regulate human embryonic stem cell (hESC) self-renewal. Here, the authors identify lncRNA growth-arrest-specific transcript 5 (GAS5) that regulates pluripotency via modulation of NODAL signalling to maintain self-renewal in hESCs.
