Since 2007, ESC & iPSC News has been providing weekly updates on the top publications, reviews, and news in pluripotent stem cell research. Through our website, Twitter, and email newsletters, our editorial team is proud to help keep researchers and medical professionals up-to-date with the latest discoveries, jobs, and event postings in the pluripotent stem cell field.

Repression of Germline Genes by PRC1.6 and SETDB1 in the Early Embryo Precedes DNA Methylation-Mediated Silencing

Researchers showed that in pre-implantation embryos and naïve ESCs, hypomethylated promoters of germline genes bound by the PRC1.6 DNA-binding subunits MGA/MAX/E2F6 were enriched for RING1B-dependent H2AK119ub1 and H3K9me3.

SPEN Is Required for Xist Upregulation during Initiation of X Chromosome Inactivation

The authors showed that SPEN played an important role in initiation of X chromosome inactivation. Spen null female mouse ESCs were defective in Xist upregulation upon differentiation.

Functional Human Gastrointestinal Organoids Can Be Engineered from Three Primary Germ Layers Derived Separately from Pluripotent Stem Cells

Researchers developed an organoid assembly approach starting with cells from the three primary germ layers—enteric neuroglial, mesenchymal, and epithelial precursors—that were derived separately from human PSCs.

β-Catenin Links Cell Seeding Density to Global Gene Expression during Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation

The authors revealed that the expression of thousands of genes in mouse ESCs was affected by cell seeding density and that low cell density enhanced the efficiency of differentiation.
