OCT4 Silencing Triggers Its Epigenetic Repression and Impairs the Osteogenic and Adipogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells
Mechanisms mediating mesenchymal stromal/stem cells’ (MSCs) multipotency are unclear. Although the expression of the pluripotency factor OCT4 has been detected in MSCs, whether it has a functional role in adult stem cells is still controversial. We hypothesized that a physiological express...
