Tracing the Emergence of Primordial Germ Cells from Bilaminar Disc Rabbit Embryos and Pluripotent Stem Cells

Using newly derived rabbit PSCs, investigators showed robust and rapid induction of rabbit primordial germ cell (rbPGC)-like cells in vitro with WNT and BMP morphogens, which revealed SOX17 as the critical regulator of rbPGC fate as in several non-rodent mammals.

Joint Single-Cell Multiomic Analysis in Wnt3a Induced Asymmetric Stem Cell Division

Investigators developed an approach to jointly profile the epigenome and transcriptome in the same single cell. Utilizing this method, they profiled H3K27me3 and H3K4me3 levels along with gene expression in mouse ESCs with localized Wnt3a signaling, revealing the cell type-specific maps of the epigenome and transcriptome in divided daughter cells.

A Polycomb Domain Found in Committed Cells Impairs Differentiation When Introduced into PRC1 in Pluripotent Cells

ESCs expressing a chimeric CBX7 were impaired in their ability to properly form embryoid bodies and neural progenitor cells and showed reduced activation of lineage-specific genes across differentiation.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells for Inherited Optic Neuropathies—Disease Modeling and Therapeutic Development

The authors discuss disease modeling and the therapeutic strategies being explored with iPSC technologies for the 2 most common inherited optic neuropathies, namely, dominant optic atrophy and Leber hereditary optic neuropathy. The rationale and translational advances for cell-based and gene-based therapies are explored, as well as opportunities for neuroprotection and drug screening.

Distinct Roles of Haspin in Stem Cell Division and Male Gametogenesis

Researchers showed that mouse ESCs that lacked or overexpressed haspin, albeit prone to chromosome misalignment during metaphase, could still divide, expand and differentiate.

PLCγ2 Regulates TREM2 Signaling and Integrin-Mediated Adhesion and Migration of Human iPSC-Derived Macrophages

To explore the relationship between PLCγ2 and TREM2 and the role of PLCγ2 in regulating immune cell function, the authors generated human iPSC- derived macrophages from isogenic lines with homozygous PLCG2 knockout.

miR-27b Antagonizes BMP Signaling in Early Differentiation of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Researchers used miR-27b-inducible human iPSCs (hiPSCs) to investigate the roles of miR-27b in the undifferentiated and early-differentiated stages. In undifferentiated hiPSCs, miR-27b suppressed the expression of pluripotency markers and cell proliferation.
