ZBTB12 is a molecular barrier to dedifferentiation in human pluripotent stem cells

The metastability of stem cells requires a mechanism for actively blocking dedifferentiation to achieve successful differentiation. Here the authors show that ZBTB12 serves as a molecular barrier to dedifferentiation by repressing a primate-specific retrotransposon, HERVH.
