REPROGRAMMING· Increases reprogramming efficiency of mouse fibroblasts to induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by inducing full reprogramming of partially reprogrammed cells (Mikkelsen et al.).· Resets epigenetic memory in mouse iPS cells, in combination with Trichostatin A (Kim et al.). DIFFERENTIATION· Enhances differentiation to cardiomyocytes from human embryonic stem cells (Yoon et al.).CANCER RESEARCH· Wide range of anti-metabolic activities when tested against cultured cancer cells and an effective chemotherapeutic agent for acute myelogenous leukemia
