    3D Interfacial and Spatiotemporal Regulation of Human Neuroepithelial Organoids

    A simple 3D culture system that allowed the generation and manipulation of neuroepithelial (NE) organoids from hiPSCs, displaying developmental phases of hiPSC differentiation and self-aggregation, first into NE cysts with lumen structure and then toward NE organoids with floor-plate patterning, was established.

    Riboregulation of Enolase 1 Activity Controls Glycolysis and Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation

    Scientists reported that the catalytic activity of the glycolytic enzyme Enolase 1 was directly regulated by RNAs leading to metabolic rewiring in mESCs.

    An Engineered Multicellular Stem Cell Niche for the 3D Derivation of Human Myogenic Progenitors from iPSCs

    Researchers screened murine cell types present in the developmental or adult stem cell niche in heterotypic suspension embryoids and identified embryonic endothelial cells and fibroblasts as highly permissive for myogenic specification of hiPSCs.

    ID Proteins Promote the Survival and Primed-to-Naive Transition of Human Embryonic Stem Cells through TCF3-Mediated Transcription

    Investigators examined the roles of inhibition of DNA binding protein 1 (ID1) and ID3 and in primed and naive-like hESCs and showed that ID1 and ID3 knockout lines exhibited decreased survival in both primed and naive-like state.

    Purification of Human iPSC-Derived Cells at Large Scale Using microRNA Switch and Magnetic-Activated Cell Sorting

    Researchers developed a technology that combined miRNA-responsive mRNA switch (miR-switch) with miR-switch-magnetic-activated cell sorting to purify large amounts of PSC-derived cells rapidly and effectively.

    High-Efficient Serum-Free Differentiation of Endothelial Cells from Human iPS Cells

    Scientists established a robust hiPSC-endothelial cells (ECs) differentiation protocol that was cost-effective, highly reproducible, avoided the use of animal-derived media compounds, and yielded highly pure human ECs.

    Generation of an Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Line (ZZUi036-A) Derived from Skin Fibroblasts of a Neuronal Intranuclear Inclusion Disease Patient with GGC Repeat Expansion in the NOTCH2NLC Gene

    Using the non-integrating Sendai virus to deliver the Klf4, OCT3/4, SOX2 and C-MYC factors, fibroblasts obtained from a neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease patient were reprogrammed to generate an iPSC line.
