A Neutralizing IL-11 Antibody Reduces Vessel Hyperplasia in a Mouse Carotid Artery Wire Injury Model

Given the proliferation and adhesion defect of Trpm7−/− trophoblast stem cells and the ability of Trpm7−/− ESCs to develop to embryos in tetraploid embryo complementation assays, researchers postulated a critical role of TRPM7 in trophectoderm cells.

Loss of TBX3 Enhances Pancreatic Progenitor Generation from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

TBX3 mutant human PSC lines were generated using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. TBX3 loss led to impaired liver differentiation and an upregulation of pancreatic gene expression, including PDX1, during a hepatocyte differentiation protocol.

Retinoic Acid Signaling in Heart Development: Application in the Differentiation of Cardiovascular Lineages from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

Scientists discuss the role of retinoic acid (RA) in cardiogenesis, currently available protocols that employ RA for differentiation of various cardiovascular lineages, and plausible transcriptional mechanisms underlying this fate specification.

Integrating Single-Cell Genomics Pipelines to Discover Mechanisms of Stem Cell Differentiation

The authors discuss strategies for scaling stem cell differentiation through multiplexed single-cell analysis, for evaluating molecular regulation of cell differentiation using new analysis algorithms, and methods for integration and projection analysis to classify and benchmark stem cell derivatives against in vivo cell types.

Regulation of NANOG and SOX2 Expression by Activin A and a Canonical WNT Agonist in Bovine Embryonic Stem Cells and Blastocysts

Activation of activin A signaling stimulated NANOG expression during self-renewal of bovine ESC but suppressed cells expressing pluripotency markers in the blastocyst and increased cells expressing CDX2.

Generation of a Transgenic Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell Line Expressing Dnmt1Y495C Mutation Associated with HSAN1E Disorder

Researchers employed non-homologous recombination and generated a mouse ESC line carrying a transgene expressing DNMT1 Y495C mutation in the wild-type background as a model for studying the abnormal neurogenesis due to this mutation.
