    Generating Human Artery and Vein Cells from Pluripotent Stem Cells Highlights the Arterial Tropism of Nipah and Hendra Viruses

    The authors generated >90% pure human artery or vein endothelial cells from PSCs within three to four days and specified artery cells by inhibiting vein-specifying signals and vice versa.

    NANOG Initiates Epiblast Fate through the Coordination of Pluripotency Genes Expression

    Scientists showed that the coordinated expression of pluripotency markers defined epiblast identity. Conversely, inner cell mass progenitor cells displayed random cell-to-cell variability in expression of various pluripotency markers.

    Satellite Repeat Transcripts Modulate Heterochromatin Condensates and Safeguard Chromosome Stability in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells

    Researchers reported that major satellite repeats transcripts could drive the formation of HP1É‘ droplets in vitro, and modulated heterochromatin into dynamic condensates in ESCs, contributing to the formation of large nuclear domains that were characteristic of pluripotent cells.

    BABY BOOM Regulates Early Embryo and Endosperm Development

    Investigators reexamined BABY BOOM expression and function in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana using reporter analysis and newly developed CRISPR mutants.

    Delamination of Trophoblast-Like Syncytia from the Amniotic Ectodermal Analogue in Human Primed Embryonic Stem Cell-Based Differentiation Model

    Scientists reported that chemical blockage of ACTIVIN/NODAL and FGF signals was sufficient to steer human primed ESCs into GATA3-expressing cells that gave rise to placental hormone-producing syncytia.

    Exosomes from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells-Derived Keratinocytes Accelerate Burn Wound Healing through miR-762 Mediated Promotion of Keratinocytes and Endothelial Cells Migration

    The authors explored the effects of exosomes produced by iPSCs-derived keratinocytes in a model of deep second-degree burn wound healing and evaluated the mechanistic basis for the observed activity.

    Hbxip Is Essential for Murine Embryogenesis and Regulates Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation through Activating mTORC1

    Researchers demonstrated that homozygous knockout of Hbxip led to embryonic lethality, with retarded growth around E7.5, and that depletion of Hbxip compromised the self-renewal of ESCs.

    Abstract

    Highly Sensitive and Non-Disruptive Detection of Residual Undifferentiated Cells by Measuring miRNAs in Culture Supernatant

    Scientists tested a highly sensitive and non-disruptive quality-testing method that involved measuring miRNAs in culture supernatants released by cells.

    Uncoupling of Proliferative Capacity from Developmental Stage during Directed Cardiac Differentiation of Pluripotent Stem Cells

    Using standard CDM3 differentiation protocols, gene expression profiles demonstrated that hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes did not progress past the equivalent of embryonic day 14.5 of murine cardiac development.
