| Scientists reported that constitutive elimination of both MLL3 and MLL4 enzymatic activities prevented initiation of gastrulation and led to early embryonic lethality in mice. [Nature Genetics] |

|
| Researchers used CRISPR-Cas9–mediated gene editing in Caenorhabditis elegans to investigate the expression pattern and role of individual replication-coupled histone H3 genes and compare them to the histone variant, H3.3. [Science Advances] |
|
|
|
| The authors showed that adult stem cells in the cnidarian Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus were pluripotent. They transplanted single i-cells from transgenic fluorescent donors to wild-type recipients and followed them in vivo in the translucent animals. [Current Biology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers generated a single-cell RNA sequencing reference of mouse in vivo cardiomyocyte maturation with extensive sampling of previously difficult-to-isolate perinatal time periods. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists developed the dCas9-KRAB-MeCP2 fusion protein for screening in iPSCs from multiple donors. They found silencing in a 200 bp window around the transcription start site in polyclonal pools to be as effective as using wild-type Cas9 for identifying essential genes, but with much reduced cell numbers. [Stem Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Following principles of developmental biology and translational applicability, investigators developed an efficient stepwise differentiation method for peptidergic and non-peptidergic nociceptors. [Stem Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors generated a Upf3a conditional knockout mouse strain and established multiple lines of ESCs and somatic cells without UPF3A. UPF3A neither repressed nonsense-mediated mRNA decay in mouse ESCs, somatic cells, nor in major organs including the liver, spleen, and thymus. [Life Science Alliance] |
|
|
|
| Researchers showed that engineered alignment, incorporated before and during cardiac differentiation, affected hiPSC-cariomycotytes electrochemical coupling and mitochondrial morphology. [Tissue Engineering Part A] |
|
|
|
| The authors investigated the role of crotonylation in hESC differentiation by introduce crotonate into the culture medium of GFP tagged LTR7 primed H9 cell and extended PSC lines. [Stem Cell Research & Therapy] |
|
|
|
|
| Investigators examined the state of the art of available cloning technologies and their progress in species other than humans and rodent models, in order to provide a critical overview of their readiness and relevance for application in endangered animal conservation. [Biological Reviews] |
|
|
|
| The authors discuss their applications in studies of regulatory mechanisms involved in early developmental processes, including identification of molecular features, X chromosome inactivation modeling, transposable elements regulation, metabolic characteristics, and cell fate regulation. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Differentiation protocols to form bona fide bone-forming from iPSCs are available, and can be used to probe details of differentiation and function in depth. [Bone] |

|
| The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine will provide more than $2.6 million in total funding for two major stem cell research projects led by scientists at UC Santa Cruz, the organization announced. [UC Santa Cruz] |
