SOX2 Is Regulated Differently from NANOG and OCT4 in Human Embryonic Stem Cells during Early Differentiation Initiated with Sodium Butyrate by Ade Kallas, Martin Pook, Annika Trei, Toivo Maimets

“…We observed at least four distinct populations of hES cells, characterized by specific expression patterns of NANOG, OCT4, and SOX2 and differentiation markers. Our results show that a single cell can express both differentiation and pluripotency markers at the same time, indicating a gradual mode of developmental transition in these cells. …”

Nontarget Metabolites of Rhizomes of Edible Sacred Lotus Provide New Insights into Rhizome Browning by Chenyang Hao, Yuetong Yu, Xueting Zhang, Gangqiang Dong, Yan Liu, Sha Chen

“…Combined with the browning phenotype of 212 lotus rhizomes, (epi) catechin, norarmepavine, and N-feruloyl-3-methoxytyramine were used as predominant chemical markers to separate different degrees of lotus rhizome browning. p-Coumaroyltyramine and N-trans-feruloyltyramine were selected as predominant chemical markers to investigate the differential expression between tropical and temperate lotus using principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis. …”
