Not implicated in Yamanaka’s study was nanog, which like oct3/4 and sox2 is also a key transcriptional regulator in pluripotent cells. Kiminobu Sugaya, director of the Stem Cell Laboratory at the University of Central Florida, has presented data at meetings showing that adult mesenchymal stem cells-bone marrow-derived cells that are predestined to form connective tissues like bone and cartilage-can be dedifferentiated into embryonic-like stem cells by expression of nanog.
According to Kevin Eggan, assistant professor of molecular and cellular biology at Harvard University, others have shown that nuclear reprogramming during cell fusion can likewise be made more efficient by overexpression of nanog in mouse embryonic stem cells.

【多能性幹細胞作成特許 概要】
Disclosed herein are methods and materials for producing a more developmentally potent cell from a less developmentally potent cell. Specifically exemplified herein are methods that comprise introducing an expressible dedifferentiating polynucleotide sequence into a less developmentally potent cell, wherein the transfected less developmentally potent cell becomes a more developmentally potent cell capable of differentiating to a less developmentally potent cell of its lineage of origin or a different lineage.
