A Scalable Embryonic Stem Cell-Based Platform for Efficient Generation of Mitochondrial DNA Mutant Mice

[Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] Investigators developed a scalable embryonic stem cell–based platform for efficient production of mitochondrial DNA mutant mice.

EpCAM Supports Exit from Pluripotency of Embryonic Stem Cells via Eomes

[Cell Death & Disease] Researchers presented a role of epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) in exit from pluripotency of murine ESCs to establish cardiomyocytes in embryoid bodies.

An Optimized Protocol for Efficient Derivation of Pancreatic Islets from Multiple Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Lines

[Stem Cell Reports] Investigators developed a robust protocol that generates functional stem cell-derived islets from all eight tested hPSC lines.

Generating Microglia-Integrated Cortical Organoids from Human Embryonic Stem Cells

[Stem Cell Reviews and Reports] Researchers presented a protocol for generating cortical organoids integrated with microglial progenitors derived from hESCs by differentiating hESCs into Yolk Sac Embryoid Bodies.

Human iPSC Cardiomyocyte Patch Transplantation Modifies Extracellular Matrix and Fibroblast Behavior after Myocardial Infarction

[iScience] The authors showed that transplantation of the hiPSC-derived cardiomyocyte patch onto the damaged heart after myocardial infarction increases the ratio of collagen type I against collagen type III to modulate alignment of the collagen fibers at the infarcted zone.

PICH Facilitates iPSC Reprogramming by Alleviating Genomic Instability Induced by DNA Replication Stress

[FEBS Journal] Scientists showed that Plk1-interacting checkpoint helicase (PICH) deficiency induces genomic instability and drastically reduces the efficiency of iPSC generation.

CAR-Neutrophils Produced In Vivo to Treat Glioma

[Nature Biomedical Engineering] Scientists developed a neutrophil-specific modified RNA translation platform, termed NeuSMRT, that enables the expression of CARs in primary neutrophils. In a syngeneic glioma model, CAR-neutrophils produced in vivo significantly inhibited tumour growth and prolong survival.

CAR-X Cell Engineering

[Nature Reviews Bioengineering] The authors discuss different CAR-engineered immune cells for therapeutic applications by highlighting how unique immune attributes, along with cell-specific manufacturing strategies and CAR designs, address challenges faced by conventional CAR-T cell therapy.

Therapeutic Targeting of BCL-2 during CART Cell Production Augments Potency through Non-Apoptotic Adaptive Changes

[Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy] Scientists revealed that venetoclax treatment during ex vivo expansion of CART cells, prepared from T cells from healthy donors or chemotherapeutically pretreated patients, potently augments antitumor efficacy in a BCL-2-dependent manner.
