| Scientists employed DNA fiber analysis to investigate how PSCs were reprogrammed into totipotent-like 2-cell-like cells (2CLCs) and showed that totipotent cells of the early mouse embryo had slow DNA replication fork speed and that 2CLCs recapitulated this feature. [Nature Genetics] |

|
| Transcriptomic analysis showed that differentiation of hiPSCs derived from diabetics into KDR+CD56+APLNR+ (KNA+) cells was sufficient to change baseline differences in gene expression caused by the diabetic status and reprogram diabetic cells to a pattern similar to KNA+ cells. [Science Advances] |

|
|
| Researchers established an in vitro iPSC model of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (ACT) from patients with an aggressive form of B cell lymphoma and examined whether doxorubicin-treated ACT-iPSC cardiomyocytes could recapitulate the clinical features exhibited by patients. [Basic Research in Cardiology] |

|
|
| Through high-resolution 3D-structured illumination microscopy and functional analysis, investigators reported multiple biological processes associated with the meiosis-specific cohesin components, α-kleisin REC8 and STAG3, and the distinct loss of function of meiotic cohesin during the cell cycle of ESCs.

|
|
| The authors established a new hiPSCs line derived from amniotic cells of a fetus with a homozygous β41-42 deletion mutation in the HBB gene and a heterozygous Westmead mutation in the HBA2 gene. They designed a CRISPR-Cas9 to target these casual mutations and corrected them. [Stem Cell Research & Therapy] |

|
|
| Researchers transplanted cells that were generated from hiPSCs into regionally specific spinal neural progenitor cells utilizing a novel accelerated differentiation protocol designed for clinical translation. [Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Investigators found that the limited expansion of ESC CD34+ cell-derived erythroid cells was associated with defective cell cycle of erythroid progenitors. [Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Scientists developed a method to generate photoreceptor cells (PRCs) from human iPSCs by introducing the transcription factors CRX and NEUROD1, which enabled them to generate induced photoreceptor-like cells expressing PRC markers. [iScience] |
|
|
|
| The authors mimicked histone H3 at the 56th lysine (H3K56) mutant incorporation in mESCs by lentivirus-mediated ectopic expression and analyzed the effects on replication and epigenetic regulation. [Journal of Molecular Cell Biology] |
|
|
|
| To rescue the functionally extinct species of the northern white rhinoceros, investigators employed iPSCs to generate gametes and subsequently embryos in vitro. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers characterized the progression and the cellular mechanisms involved in α-synuclein pre-formed fibrils transfer from enteroendocrine cells to neuronal cells. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
|
| Scientists discuss current methods and their limitations for producing nonhuman primate genetic models that faithfully genocopy and phenocopy human disease. [Science Translational Medicine] |
|
|
|
| The authors discuss the latest research on long non-coding RNAs in iPSC stemness, neuronal, and cardiac differentiation. [American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology] |
