| Scientists showed that ZFP462 safeguarded neural lineage specification of mESCs by targeting the H3K9-specific histone methyltransferase complex G9A/GLP to silence meso-endodermal genes. [Nature Cell Biology] |

|
| Researchers examined the role of the RNA-binding protein polypyrimidine tract-binding protein 1 (PTBP1) in the process of spliceosomal intron excision using an acute depletion approach followed by the analysis of chromatin- and RNA Pol II-associated transcripts. [Molecular Cell] |
|
|
|
| Investigators reduced the complexity of how a subset of expressed genes dictates cellular phenotype by focusing on cellular organization and generated the WTC-11 hiPSC Single-Cell Image Dataset v1, which contained more than 200,000 live cells in 3D, spanning 25 key cellular structures. [Nature] |
|
|
|
| Using PSCs, the authors have established an in vitro system that recapitulated the twofold difference in developmental rate between mouse and human embryos. [Nature] |
|
|
|
| Researchers found that in pluripotent mESCs, ERK1/2 did not translocate to the nucleus either before or after stimulation. This inhibition of nuclear translocation might be dependent on a lack of stimulated ERK1/2 interaction with importin7 rather than a lack of ERK1/2 phosphorylation activating translocation. [Stem Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| To study the contribution of duplicated genes to human early development, investigators examined the evolution and function of NANOGP1, a tandem duplicate of the transcription factor NANOG. [Development] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated whether runt-related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1) played a critical role in mitochondrial dysfunction in Down syndrome and explored the mechanism by which RUNX1 affected mitochondrial functions. [Molecules and Cells] |
|
|
|
| The authors showed that BRPF1, a multi-histone binding module protein, was essential for pluripotency in hESCs. BRPF1, H3K4me3, and H3K23ac substantially co-occupied the open chromatin and stemness genes in hESCs. [iScience] |
|
|
|
| Researchers demonstrated that RAD21 and REC8 were involved in maintaining genomic stability and modulating chromatin modification in mESCs. [BMB Reports] |
| |
|
|
|
| Using pluripotency progression as a paradigm, investigators review how developmental transitions are coordinated by redeployments, rather than global resettings, of cellular components. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
|
| The ISSCR announced partnerships with Burroughs Wellcome Fund, Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, and the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative to support a new global initiative to develop standards for human stem cell use in research. [International Society for Stem Cell Research] |
