In vivo differentiation of embryonic cells devoid of key reprogramming factors
Youlten, Miao et al. use zebrafish transplantation to understand the fate of cells lacking pluripotency factors Nanog, Pou5f3, and Sox19b (NPS) in developmental reprogramming and cell identity establishment. They found that NPS are required for proper cell identity for most, but not all, lineages, likely through nuclear and cytoplasmic reprogramming.
