    Distinct Roles for CKM–Mediator in Controlling Polycomb-Dependent Chromosomal Interactions and Priming Genes for Induction

    Through separation-of-function experiments, researchers revealed that the collaboration between CKM–Mediator and canonical polycomb repressive complex 1 in creating long-range interactions did not function to prime genes for induction during differentiation.

    Pluripotency Factors Are Repurposed to Shape the Epigenomic Landscape of Neural Crest Cells

    By assessing avian and human neural crest cells at distinct developmental stages, scientists characterized the epigenomic changes that occured during their specification, migration, and early differentiation.

    Acoustically Accelerated Neural Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells

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

    In Vivo Generation of Bone Marrow from Embryonic Stem Cells in Interspecies Chimeras

    Based on FACS analysis and single-cell RNA sequencing, mESCs differentiated into multiple hematopoietic and stromal cell types that were indistinguishable from normal mouse bone marrow cells.

    Abstract

    The Centrosomal Protein 83 (CEP83) Regulates Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Differentiation towards the Kidney Lineage

    The authors induced inactivating deletions of CEP83 in hiPSCs and applied a seven day in vitro protocol of intermediate mesoderm kidney progenitor differentiation, based on timed application of WNT and FGF agonists.

    Abstract

    Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Specific Role of YAP in Maintenance of Self-Renewal and Survival

    Investigators demonstrated that yes-associated protein (YAP) functioned in an hESC-specific manner to maintain self-renewal and survival in hESCs. hESCs were highly sensitive to YAP downregulation to promote cell survival.

    Generation and Validation of an iPSC Line (BBANTWi008-a) from a Loeys-Dietz Syndrome Type 3 Patient

    Researchers generated an iPSC line of a severely affected Loeys-Dietz Syndrome patient carrying a pathogenic SMAD3 p.Arg287Gln variant. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were reprogrammed using non-integrating Sendai viral vectors.

    Prdm14 Promotes Mouse ESC Self-Renewal and PGCLC Specification through Enhancement of Stat3 Activity

    Using high-throughput sequencing, chromatin immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter assays, scientists showed that Prdm14 directly bound to the promoter of Socs3 and repressed its transcription to increase the phosphorylation level of Stat3 protein.

    Generation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC) from NY-ESO-I-Specific Cytotoxic T Cells Isolated from the Melanoma Patient with Minor HLAs: The Practical Pilot Study for the Adoptive Immunotherapy for Melanoma Using iPSC Technology

    Investigators monoclonally isolated CD8+ T cells (TCs) specifically reactive with NY-ESO-1 from the melanoma patient’s monocytes after being stimulated with NY-ESO-1 peptide by manual procedure, and cultured NY-ESO-1-specific TCs until proliferated and formed colonies.
