| Investigators showed that acute deletion of all three Tet genes, after brief exposure of triple-floxed, Cre-ERT2-expressing mESCs to 4-hydroxytamoxifen, resulted in chromosome missegregation and aneuploidy. [Nature Communications] |

|
|
| Researchers presented a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated ABO gene edition strategy for the conversion of blood type A to universal type O, which they had applied to an Rhnull donor-derived hiPSC line, originally carrying blood group A. [Clinical and Translational Medicine] |
|
|
|
| In the absence of WNT stimulation, transforming growth factor β pathway inhibition led to direct and robust conversion of primed human PSCs into trophoblast stem cells. [Stem Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors generated two PITX2 knock-out human iPSC lines using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. The edited iPSCs maintained full pluripotency, normal karyotype, and spontaneous differentiation capability. [Stem Cell Research] |
|
|
|
| Researchers developed two hiPSC lines using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated allele-specific frame-shift deletion of the aSyn encoding gene SNCA, resulting in homo- and heterozygous SNCA knockout. [Stem Cell Research] |
|
|
|
| Investigators generated iPSCs from the last male Malaysian Sumatran rhino Kertam, who died in 2019, and characterized them comprehensively. [iScience] |
|
|
|
| Scientists established novel iPSCs from three endangered avian species with seven reprogramming factors. [Communications Biology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers used transcriptomics to interrogate the process by which pluripotent cells transit to four different lineage-restricted states: neural progenitors, epidermis, endoderm, and ventral mesoderm. [BMC Genomics] |
|
|
|
| Investigators applied cutting-edge technologies to analyze the transcriptomic and epigenomic landscape of bovine ESC obtained from in vitro fertilized and somatic cell nuclear transfer embryos. [Reproduction] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors suggest that iPSCs and gene-editing techniques can play a pivotal role in elucidating the mechanisms of gene-environment interactions and understanding individual variability in susceptibility to environmental effects. [EMBO Molecular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Scientists examine the events driving pluripotent stem cell fate and the underlying changes in gene expression during early development. [Experimental & Molecular Medicine] |
|

|
|
| New international collaboration between scientists in Canada and Japan aims to accelerate therapies for cancer and other diseases using precisely engineered cells from the patient’s own body. [National Research Council Canada] |
