Zscan4 is sometimes considered as a marker of highly pluripotent status, merely due to its expression at the two-cell stage during development (Cerulo et al., 2014). However, based on our observation, we would like to propose that the expression of Zscan4 is activated in response to telomere shorten

Experimental Procedures Introduction β Cells have been reported to have the potential to proliferate after experimental ablation, such as chemical treatment or partial pancreatectomy (Bonner-Weir et al., 2010) (Cano et al., 2008; Nir et al., 2007; Xu et al., 2008). Although controversial, β ol

Like any other method, karyotyping cannot prove the absence of variant cells. Nonetheless, mosaicism can be excluded to a certain degree by analyzing an appropriate number of metaphases (Hook, 1977). The exact number of metaphases scored may depend on the ultimate application of cells. For example,
