    Modeling Ciliopathy Phenotypes in Human Tissues Derived from Pluripotent Stem Cells with Genetically Ablated Cilia

    Investigators showed that human PSCs edited via CRISPR to knock out the kinesin-2 subunits KIF3A or KIF3B could be used to model ciliopathy phenotypes and to reveal ciliary functions at the tissue scale.

    Abstract

    Human iPSC-Derived-Keratinocytes, a Useful Model to Identify and Explore Pathological Phenotype of Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex

    Investigators generated hiPSC-derived keratinocytes from patients carrying KRT5 dominant mutations and compared them to non-affected hiPSC-derived keratinocytes as well as their primary counterparts.

    Abstract

    Defective Hematopoietic Differentiation of Immune Aplastic Anemia Patient-Derived iPSCs

    Investigators derived iPSCs from peripheral blood erythroblasts obtained from patients diagnosed with immune aplastic anemia using non-integrating plasmids to model the disease.
