Abstract

How is it that Oct4, a transcription factor that controls pluripotency in stem cells, also controls lineage specification? A recent study investigating common Oct4 targets in vertebrate species indicates an evolutionarily conserved role in mediating cell adhesion. This finding may help decipher Oct4's versatility in governing stem cell behaviors.
