|
| Deficiency of Vsnl1 not only reduced the beating rate of human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes but also the heart rate of mice. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis unveiled the core gene regulation network governing the function of the sinoatrial node in mice. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Scientists used single-cell whole-genome transcriptional profiling and protein quantification to investigate the role of OCT4 in establishing pluripotency in the murine embryo. [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] |
|
|
|
| Investigators evaluated the mechanistic contributions of protein inhibitor of activated STAT-1 (PIAS1) in Huntington’s disease (HD) mice and HD patient-derived iPSCs and found a link between PIAS1 and DNA damage repair pathways. [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] |
|
|
|
| Scientists purified different cochlear cell types from neonatal mice, validated the composition of the different groups with single-cell RNA sequencing, and assessed the various groups’ potential to grow into inner ear organoids. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers present a computational workflow that could identify transcription factors that were crucial for modulating pathways involved in cell lineage specification. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Investigators generated iPSCs from a patient with FOXA2 haploinsufficiency followed by beta-cell differentiation to understand the role of FOXA2 during pancreatic beta-cell development. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Glycosaminoglycans of endothelial cells derived from Moyamoya disease (MMD) and control iPSCs were analyzed. A computational fluid dynamics model was also developed to show the distribution of values for vascular wall shear stress in the predisposing region of MMD. [Scientific Reports] |

|
|
| Epithelial cell rests of malassez was cultured in ESC medium with 1 µM of 5-Azacytidine (5Aza), or 2 mM of valproic acid (Vpa), or a combination of 5Aza and Vpa. The cells stimulated with both 5Aza and Vpa were named as progenitor-dedifferentiated into stem-like cells. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors focus on the current status of the development, application and manipulation of iPSC-derived platelet-like particles, which has been leading the field of regenerative medicine using iPSC-derived blood cells and has reached the first-in-human clinical trial. [Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences] |
|
|
|
| Scientists present a review focusing on studies that have used iPSCs for disease modeling and drug discovery in Niemann-Pick disease Type C1 (NPC1) and draw a comparison to commonly used NPC1 models. [International Journal of Molecular Sciences] |

|
| RheinCell Therapeutics GmbH announced it has received Good Manufacturing Practice certification and Manufacturing Authorization. This marks a landmark achievement for RheinCell, which is now among a select few iPSCs manufacturers to have received the critical certification. [Lifescience Newswire] |
