Transient let-7/miR-98 reprograms primed pluripotency to induce naivehuman PSCs

Yoshihiko Fujita, Moe Hirosawa, Karin Hayashi, Hiroki Ono, Belinda Kaswandy, Mai Ueda, Maya Lopez, Takuya Yamamoto, Yasuhiro Takashima, Hirohide Saito

This paper identifies miR-98-5p as a let-7 family microRNA that enhances naive human PSC induction by repressing NR6A1 and activating BMP2/4 signaling, improving resetting efficiency to ~80%.
