| Researchers found ultraviolet light-related damage in ~72% of skin fibroblast-derived hiPSCs, occasionally resulting in substantial mutagenesis. [Nature Genetics] |

|
| Scientists presented a screening platform to systematically elucidate functional consequences of genetic perturbations in hiPSC-derived microglia. [Nature Neuroscience] |
|
|
|
| Researchers presented a comprehensive single-cell transcriptome, methylome, and small RNA atlas in the day seven human embryo. [Genome Research] |
|
|
|
| The authors characterized the MHC I-associated peptide (MAP) repertoire of hiPSCs using proteogenomics. Their analyses revealed a set of 46 pluripotency-associated MAPs absent from the transcriptome of normal tissues and adult stem cells but expressed in PSCs and multiple adult cancers. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Bulk and single-cell-based assays were employed to catalog gene expression, histone modifications, chromatin conformation, and accessibility transitions in ESC populations and individual cells acquiring a presomitic mesoderm fate. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators established a potential therapeutic strategy for motor neuron diseases by in vivo directional differentiation of hiPSCs engineered with motor neuron specific transcription factors and Tet-On system. [Cell Proliferation] |
|
|
|
| Using a seven-stage protocol, hiPSCs were differentiated into islet-like aggregates with a yield of insulin-positive beta cells comparable to that of human islets. [Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology] |
|
|
|
| The authors used hiPSC derived intestinal epithelial cells, grown as a cell layer, to study the effects of butyrate, propionate, and acetate on whole genome gene expression in the cells. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists studied transcriptome, chromatin accessibility, active histone modification marks, and relative proteomes of ESCs and the two well-established expanded potential stem cells (EPSCs) lines to probe the molecular foundation underlying EPSC developmental potential. [Life Science Alliance] |
|
|
|
| Researchers developed hiPSC-engineered niches to reveal druggable cancer-niche dependencies. They revealed that mesenchymal and vascular niche-like hiPSC-derived cells supported ex vivo proliferation of patient-derived leukemia cells, affect dormancy, and mediated treatment resistance. [Cell Reports Medicine] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors discuss the use of hiPSCs as a model for Parkinson’s disease pathology and research on the Leucine-Rich Repeat Kinase 2 (LRRK2) function in both neuronal and immune cells, together with reviewing the recent advances in 3D organoid models and microfluidics. [Neurobiology of Disease] |

|
| The race to decide who will become the new leader of the UK Conservative Party, and the country’s next Prime Minister, has less than a month left to run. [Nature] |
