摘要
In this issue of Cell, Chambers et al. (2003) and Mitsui et al. (2003) add a new transcriptional operating system to the known Oct4 and Stat3 systems required for early embryonal stem cell potency and self-renewal. Nanog, a homeobox transcription factor, plays a crucial role in the second embryonic cell fate specification following formation of the blastocyst.
