"TET-on" pluripotency

Cell Res. 2013 Jul;23(7):863-5. doi: 10.1038/cr.2013.72. Epub 2013 Jun 4.

Abstract

Recent studies have uncovered a specific role of TET proteins in reprogramming somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells, a process where O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine transferase may play a crucial role.
