    BRG1 Is a Biomarker of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in Human Heart Specimens

    Inhibition of BRG1 in human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes significantly decreased MYH7 and increased MYH6, suggesting a regulatory role for BRG1 in the pathological imbalance of the two myosin heavy chain isoforms in human hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

    Anti-Nucleocapsid Antibodies Enhance the Production of IL-6 Induced by SARS-CoV-2 N Protein

    To examine the cytokine production in COVID-19, researchers mimicked the disease in SARS-CoV-2-infected alveoli by adding the lysate of SARS-CoV-2-infected cells to cultured macrophages or iPSC-derived myeloid cells.

    Differential Single Cell Responses of Embryonic Stem Cells Versus Embryoid Bodies to Gravity Mechanostimulation

    Investigators provided novel evidence that ESC maintenance and embryoid body development could be regulated by gravity mechanostimulation and that stem cells committed to a differentiation program were more sensitive to gravity induced changes to their transcriptome.

    Abstract

    The Effect of BMP4, FGF8 and WNT3a on Mouse iPS Cells Differentiating to Odontoblast-Like Cells

    The authors investigated whether BMP4, FGF8, and/or WNT3a on neural crest-like cells derived from mouse induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells would promote differentiation of odontoblasts-like cells.
