A research team led by Professor Shuai Ling at the State Key Laboratory of Chemical Medical BiologyatNankai University, has discovered that knocking out the Sorcs3gene in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) efficiently activates totipotent phenotypes. The underlying mechanism appears to be closely associated with activation of the core transcription factor Tfap2c. Further investigation revealed that acquisition of these totipotent features is primarily achieved through inhibition of three critical
