Abstract

In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, MacDougall et al. (2019) utilized a CRISPR mutagenesis screen to identify factors for mESC self-renewal and found that intracellular calcium and nuclear export act in naive pluripotency exit. Combined knockout of Tcf7l1 and the calcium transporter Atp2b1 enabled mESCs to self-renew in the absence of LIF and 2i.
