A unique Oct4 interface is crucial for reprogramming to pluripotency
Terminally differentiated cells can be reprogrammed to pluripotency by the forced expression of Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc1,2. However, it remains unknown how this leads to the multitude of epigenetic changes observed during the reprogramming process. Interestingly, Oct4 is the only factor that cannot be replaced by other members of the same family to induce pluripotency. To understand the unique role of Oct4 in reprogramming, we determined the structure

In the northwestern part of Romania there is one of the most polluted cities in the country, Baia Mare. Non-ferrous ore exploitation, it’s processing in smelting and flotation plants are all sources of environmental pollution by sulfur oxides and heavy metals.
