    A TRIM66/DAX1/Dux Axis Suppresses the Totipotent 2-Cell-Like State in Murine Embryonic Stem Cells

    Investigators discovered that TRIM66 and DAX1 functioned together as negative regulators of the 2-cell-like state in mESCs.

    In Vitro Attachment and Symmetry Breaking of a Human Embryo Model Assembled from Primed Embryonic Stem Cells

    Scientists proposed a strategy of modeling the post-attachment human embryo by assembling a pre-formed polarized epithelial epiblast and extraembryonic cells, allowing them to self-organize into a structure that mimicked the dish-attached human embryo.

    The microRNA Cluster C19MC Confers Differentiation Potential into Trophoblast Lineages upon Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

    The authors showed that naïve hESCs could transdifferentiate into trophoblast stem cells, but primed hESCs could not.

    Stub1 Maintains Proteostasis of Master Transcription Factors in Embryonic Stem Cells

    Using a CRISPR-Cas9 knockout library screen in mESCs, researchers identified the E3 ubiquitin ligase Stub1 as a negative regulator of pluripotency.

    A TET1-PSPC1-Neat1 Molecular Axis Modulates PRC2 Functions in Controlling Stem Cell Bivalency

    TET1 maintains hypomethylation at bivalent promoters through its catalytic activity in ESCs. Using a proteomics approach, scientists mapped the TET1 interactome in ESCs and identified PSPC1 as a TET1 partner.

    Arp2/3 Complex Activity Is Necessary for Mouse ESC Differentiation, Times Formative Pluripotency, and Enables Lineage Specification

    Mouse ESCs have revealed transcriptional and epigenetic control of early embryonic development. Researchers showed marked changes in morphology and actin architectures during differentiation that depended on Arp2/3 complex but not formin activity.

    Development and Evaluation of a Novel Xeno-Free Culture Medium for Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

    Scientists developed a xeno-free ON2/AscleStem PSC medium (ON2) and cultured 253G1 hiPSCs on different matrices, including iMatrix-511 and gelatin nanofiber in ON2.
