    TOP STORY

    Establishment of Human Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Skin Organoids Enabled Pathophysiological Model of SARS-CoV-2 Infection

    A proteome map of COVID-19 skin was established and the susceptibility of human iPSC-derived skin organoids with hair follicles and nervous system to SARS-CoV-2 infection was investigated.

    Genetic Studies of Human–Chimpanzee Divergence Using Stem Cell Fusions

    To facilitate further genetic study of human-chimpanzee divergence, investigators generated human and chimpanzee autotetraploids and allotetraploids by fusing iPSCs of each species.

    Human iPSC-Derived Fallopian Tube Organoids with BRCA1 Mutation Recapitulate Early-Stage Carcinogenesis

    Researchers generated human fallopian tube epithelial (FTE) organoids from BRCA1 mutation carriers that provided a faithful physiological in vitro model of FTE lesion generation and early carcinogenesis.

    Full ArticleGraphical Abstract

    Differential Repression of Otx2 Underlies the Capacity of NANOG and ESRRB to Induce Germline Entry

    Scientists showed that NANOG mediated Otx2 downregulation in the absence of cytokines and that this was essential for primordial germ cell-like cells induction by NANOG.

    p57 Suppresses the Pluripotency and Proliferation of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells by Positively Regulating p53 Activation

    Investigators discovered that p57Kip2 (p57), a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor canonically inhibiting cell proliferation, played a role in suppressing the pluripotency state of mouse ESCs.

    Intermittent Compressive Force Induces Cell Cycling and Reduces Apoptosis in Embryoid Bodies of Mouse Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

    Scientists identified a molecular mechanism in iPSCs responding to intermittent compressive force by analyzing the global gene expression profile.

    SEPHS1 Is Dispensable for Pluripotency Maintenance but Indispensable for Cardiac Differentiation in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells

    Researchers generated Sephs1 knockout ESCs and found that deficiency of SEPSH1 had little effect on pluripotency maintenance and proliferation.
