|
| Using patient-derived iPSCs, researchers generated a midbrain dopaminergic neuron model of dopamine transporter deficiency syndrome that exhibited marked impairment of dopamine transporter activity, apoptotic neurodegeneration associated with TNFα-mediated inflammation, and dopamine toxicity. [Science Translational Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Investigators differentiated human iPSCs into the mesodermal and ectomesodermal lineages to prepare isogenic mesodermal cell–derived chondrocytes and neural crest cell–derived chondrocytes for comparative evaluation. [Science Advances] |
|
|
|
| Researchers reported the generation of hypoimmunogenic cancer-antigen-specific T cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells lacking β2-microglobulin, the class-II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) transactivator and the natural killer cell-ligand poliovirus receptor CD155, and expressing single-chain MHC class-I antigen E. [Nature Biomedical Engineering] |
|
|
|
| Researchers showed that 16p11.2 deletion iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons have increased soma size and synaptic marker expression compared to isogenic control lines. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Scientists reported a protocol differentiating human PSCs into endometrial stromal fibroblasts that were highly pure and able to decidualize. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Using PSCs as a model of human development, researchers revealed that GATA6 was integral to the establishment of the endoderm enhancer network via the induction of chromatin accessibility and histone modifications. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists generated 2D and 3D in vitro human Fragile X syndrome model systems based on isogenic fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) knock-out mutant and wild-type human iPSC lines. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Scientists identified a long non-coding RNA, Gm19705, that was over-expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma and mouse ESCs. [eLife] |
|
|
|
|
| Researchers describe the cellular and molecular properties of urine-derived stem cells, their differentiation potency, different reprogramming methods for the generation of iPSCs/induced neural stem cells, and their potential applications in modeling neurological diseases. [Cell & Bioscience] |
|
|
|
|
| Accelerated Biosciences announced new data that further demonstrates statistically significant cytolysis with iPSC-derived natural killer cells programmed from its ethically sourced hTSCs. [Accelerated Biosciences (BusinessWire, Inc.)] |
