The maintenance of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) requires LIF and serum. However, a pluripotent “ground state,” bearing resemblance to preimplantation mouse epiblasts, can be established through dual inhibition (2i) of both prodifferentiation Mek/Erk and Gsk3/Tcf3 pathways. While Gsk3 inhibitio...
