| Scientists showed that the BRG1/BRM-associated factor chromatin-remodeling complex ATPase gene Brm safeguarded cell identity during directed cardiogenesis of mouse ESCs. [Nature] |

|
| Researchers characterized the expression pattern and examined the function of Lima1 in mouse embryos and PSC lines. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| By elucidating the in vivo molecular features of the renal stromal lineage at a single-cell resolution level, investigators established an in vitro induction protocol for stromal progenitors from mouse PSCs. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| By developing a measure that tracked cellular aging in vitro, scientists tested whether it tracked physiological aging in various mouse tissues and whether anti-aging interventions modulate this measure. [Aging Cell] |
|
|
|
| Investigators interrogated the contribution of the Hippo signaling effector YAP1 to the formation of the three germ layers by analyzing human ESC-derived 2D-micropatterned gastruloids. [Stem Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors used Duchenne muscular dystrophy-patient-specific human iPSCs to model cardiomyopathic features and unravel novel pathologic insights. [Stem Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| The presence of artificial introns, particularly an intron that carried an enhancer element, significantly increased the reporter expression levels in iPSCs compared to the intron-deleted control. [Stem Cell Reviews and Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists inserted iCasp9 gene into the endogenous OCT4 locus of human and mouse PSCs without affecting their pluripotency. A chemical inducer of dimerization, AP1903, induced iCasp9 activation, which led to the apoptosis of specific undifferentiated PSCs in vitro and in vivo.

|
|
| Researchers optimized and functionally linked magnetic activated cell sorting technology as well as multiplex droplet digital PCR to their ESC screening process to achieve a greater than 60% assurance that ESC clones were correctly targeted. [Molecular Biology Reports] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors summarize currently used differentiation strategies of iPSCs towards neuronal and glial cell types and cerebral organoids and their utilization in modeling Alzheimer’s disease and potential drug discovery. [Stem Cell Reviews and Reports] |

|
| The ISS will include an experiment by five students from the Luxembourg Center of System Biomedicine at Belval, who have been growing so-called “organoids”, mini brains that will be able to grow in micro gravity and thus help advance research in the fight against Parkinson’s disease.
