Abstract
Chemical reprogramming holds transformative potential for regenerative medicine. However, the regulatory mechanisms governing cell fate transitions are not well understood. Here, we identify Interleukin-1 Receptor-Associated Kinase 4 (IRAK4) as a barrier to multi-lineage reprogramming. Pharmacological inhibition of IRAK4 enhances the reprogramming of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) through a chemically activated multi-lineage priming (CaMP) state and extraembryonic endoderm (XEN)-like intermediates, increasing colony formation, and the expression of core XEN regulators (Sox17, Gata4, Sall4, and Foxa2). Genetic knockdown of Irak4 similarly accelerates reprogramming, whereas its overexpression blocks cell fate transitions. IRAK4 inhibition enhances chromatin accessibility and reshapes cell cycle dynamics, characterized by G0/

Tracing map
Proposed by the machine: these links were found in the paper and verified at the source, without human review. The map will receive a Zenodo DOI once one of the paper's authors has validated it with their ORCID.
What the map holds:
- 1 repository of the authors' code, each at its verified commit, with its license and how the link was found in the paper;
- 12 scripts, each with its path and the digest of its content;
- 1 match between paragraphs of the paper and lines of the code (method lexical-v1);
- neither the text of the paper nor the code itself.
Its JSON (tracing-map.json) is deposited on Zenodo with its DOI once the map is validated.
