O4I1 is a small-molecule agonist that selectively activates Oct4 (POU5F1), a transcription factor crucial for maintaining pluripotency in embryonic stem cells. By promoting Oct4 expression, O4I1 facilitates the reprogramming of somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), making it a valuable tool in stem cell research and regenerative medicine. It is widely studied for its potential in cell fate determination, tissue repair, and disease modeling, offering insights into transcriptional regulation and therapeutic applications in personalized medicine and developmental biology.
