[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
