Cell Cycle-Driven Heterogeneity: On the Road to Demystifying the Transitions between “Poised” and “Restricted” Pluripotent Cell States

<div>Fucci hESCs can be used to isolate cell cycle fractions from live cells. (a) Image of live Fucci hESCs. Bar: 25 <i>μ</i>m. (b) Flow cytometric analysis of Fucci hESCs, showing early-G1, EG1; late-G1, LG1; S phase, S; and G2/M-phases, G2/M. (c) Diagram showing that transcripts expressed from developmental genes have been found to be cell cycle regulated, peaking in G1 and downregulated in S phase.</div>
