How cells build totipotency and pluripotency: Nuclear, chromatin and transcriptional architecture.
Curr. Opin. Cell Biol. 34, 9-15 (2015)
Totipotent and pluripotent cells display different degrees of cellular plasticity. After fertilization, embryonic cells transit naturally from a totipotent to a pluripotent state. Major changes in nuclear architecture, chromatin mobility and gene expression occur during this transition. In particular, nuclear architecture has recently emerged as a potential regulator of heterochromatin formation in the early embryo. Future research should address whether a causal, functional link between nuclear organization and gene regulation is a general theme during reprogramming and the formation of pluripotent cells.
