Pluripotent cells have the unique ability to give rise to all the differentiated cells of the adult body. This cell state is under the control of extrinsic signals stabilising a highly robust network of transcription factors. In the first part of the seminar I will present the approach we used to reconstruct the network controlling the pluripotent cell state. Pluripotent cells are also characterised by a rather unique metabolic profile, where both glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration are performed at high levels. I will share some unpublished results describing a novel mechanism important for tuning the metabolic profile in pluripotent cells and during reprogramming to naive pluripotency.
