Abstract (original English)

The interplay between transcription factors, epigenetic modifiers, chromatin remodelers and miRNAs form the foundation of a complex regulatory network required for establishment and maintenance of the pluripotent state. Recent work indicates that Myc transcription factors are essential elements of this regulatory system. However, despite numerous studies, aspects of how Myc controls self-renewal and pluripotency remain obscure. This article reviews evidence supporting the placement of Myc as a central regulator of the pluripotent state and discusses possible mechanisms of action.

What this study does not prove

  • • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
  • • This is a narrative review: it collects no new patient data and does not systematically appraise evidence quality.
