    A Multimodal iPSC Platform for Cystic Fibrosis Drug Testing

    Scientists generated a panel of airway epithelial cells using iPSCs from individuals with common or rare cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) variants representative of three distinct classes of CFTR dysfunction.

    Acoustically Accelerated Neural Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells

    To accelerate neuron production, an acoustic stimulator producing surface acoustic waves was proposed and realized by clamping a flexible printed circuit board directly onto a piezoelectric substrate.

    Engineering an Adenine Base Editor in Human Embryonic Stem Cells with Minimal DNA and RNA Off-Target Activities

    Investigators tested different combinations of off-target reduction methods to further diminish off-target effects of adenine base editors without compromising their on-target editing efficiencies.

    Podocytes Derived from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells: Characterization, Comparison, and Modeling of Diabetic Kidney Disease

    The authors found that their accelerated 12-day method for the differentiation of podocytes from hiPSCs yielded podocytes with comparable marker expression to longer podocytes.

    Knockout of Integrin β1 in Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Accelerates Skin-Wound Healing by Promoting Cell Migration in Extracellular Matrix

    Scientists knocked out Itgb1 in mouse iPSCs and evaluated its effects on the therapeutic potential of topically applied iPSCs, as well as their underlying in vivo and in vitro mechanisms.

    Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylation Complex and MBD3 Influence Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell Naïve Pluripotency under Inhibition of Protein Kinase C

    Investigators found that, compared with 2iL-derived mESCs, protein kinase C-derived mESCs showed low mRNA expression of nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase complex subunits, including MBD3, HDAC1/HDAC2, MTA1, and RbAP46/RbAP48.

    Production of Kidney Organoids Arranged around Single Ureteric Bud Trees, and Containing Endogenous Blood Vessels, Solely from Embryonic Stem Cells

    The authors developed a method for generating murine kidney organoids with improved higher-order structure, through stages using chimaeras of ex-fetu and PSC-derived cells to a system that worked entirely from ESCs.

    Rif1 Interacts with Non-canonical Polycomb Repressive Complex PRC1.6 to Regulate Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells Fate Potential

    Researchers identified an unprecedented functional connection between Rif1 and the non-canonical polycomb repressive complex PRC1.6. Downregulation of the expression of either Rif1 or PRC1.6 subunits imposed similar impacts on the transcriptome of mESCs.

    Stepwise Pluripotency Transitions in Mouse Stem Cells

    Recent studies of cultured mPSCs have clarified the presence of intermediate pluripotent stages between the naïve pluripotent state represented by ESCs and the primed pluripotent state represented by epiblast stem cells.

    Abstract

    Using 2D and 3D Pluripotent Stem Cell Models to Study Neurotropic Viruses

    The authors review the current state of technology in stem cell-based modeling of the central nervous system and how these models can be used to determine viral tropism and identify cellular phenotypes to investigate virus-host interactions and facilitate drug screening.
