| Scientists utilized CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to engineer novel isogenic hiPSC models, consisting of isogenic androgen receptor (AR) knockout, control, and disease lines expressing mutant AR with distinct repeat lengths. [Brain] |

|
|
| To further expand hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes’ (CMs) potential as a research tool and bridge the translational gap, investigators generated a cardiac-specific hiPSC reporter line that differentiated into fluorescent CMs using CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technology. [Cell Biology and Toxicology] |
|
|
|
| iPSCs carrying a SYCP3-mkate2 knock-in reporter were generated by the CRISPR/Cas9 strategy to monitor meiosis status during induced differentiation from iPSCs into oocytes. [Stem Cell Research & Therapy] |
|
|
|
| Brain organoids were characterized regarding brain development, cell type composition, and Machado-Joseph disease-associated neuropathology markers, to evaluate their value for cerebellar diseases modeling. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors combined iPSC-derived spinal motor neurons and microglia and established a novel co-culture, which was compatible with motor neuron identity and function. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists added Lin28, known as one of the reprogramming factors, in the form of a soluble recombinant protein from E. coli to improve the efficiency of hiPSC generation, in respect of alkaline phosphatase-positive colonies. [Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators established a novel ovarian granulosa cell (OGC)-derived iPSC cell line from the follicular fluid of a healthy female donor with a Chinese Han genetic background and named it IPS-OGC-C1. [Human Cell] |
|
|
|
| Through constructing inducible knockdown or overexpressing WDR36-human extended PSC (EPSC) lines, researchers found that WDR36 knockdown disrupted self-renewal but promoted the mesodermal differentiation of human EPSCs. [Frontiers in Genetics] |
|
|
|
| Scientists induced lubricin-expressing cells from iPSCs and applied them locally via cell transplantation. [Journal of Molecular Histology] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors review recently developed strategies for making 3D models of the human embryo built from ESCs, which they refer to as embryoids. [Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology] |
