    Chemoproteomic and Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals That O-GlcNAc Regulates Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell Fate through the Pluripotency Network

    Investigators reported the identification of 979 proteins acylated with O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) and 1,340 modification sites in mESCs by using a chemoproteomics method.

    Proliferation Toxicity and Mechanism of Novel Mixed Bromine/Chlorine Transformation Products of Tetrabromobisphenol A on Human Embryonic Stem Cell

    To study development toxicity of tetrabromobisphenol A, the proliferation toxicity was investigated using hESCs exposed to the lowest effective dose of two tetrabromobisphenol A analogs.

    Transcriptome Profiles and Chromatin States in Mouse Androgenetic Haploid Embryonic Stem Cells

    Researchers profiled the transcriptomes, nucleosome positioning, and key histone modifications of four mouse haploid ESC lines, and compared these profiles with those of other closely-related stem cell lines, MII oocytes, round spermatids, sperm, and mouse embryonic fibroblasts.

    The Method of Sinus Node-Like Pacemaker Cells from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells by BMP and Wnt Signaling

    The effects of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and Wnt signaling on the differentiation of SAN-like pacemaker cells were investigated. hiPSCs were divided into four groups: control, BMP4, CHIR—3, and BMP4 + CHIR.

    Abstract

    Induction of Primordial Germ Cell-Like Cells from Common Marmoset Embryonic Stem Cells by Inhibition of WNT and Retinoic Acid Signaling

    Scientists established a culture system that induced a robust number of primordial germ cell-like cells from common marmoset ESCs.

    Homogeneity of XEN Cells Is Critical for Generation of Chemically Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

    Chemical reprogramming was induced according to the gene expression pattern of extra-embryonic endoderm (XEN) cells, which were used as an intermediate stage in pluripotency induction.

    Abstract

    Generation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells from Lymphoblastoid Cell Lines by Electroporation of Episomal Vectors

    Researchers showed that electroporation was an effective gene delivery method with which lymphoblastoid cell lines could be efficiently reprogrammed into iPSCs.

    Abstract

    Embryonic Stem Cells Lacking DNA Methyltransferases Differentiate into Neural Stem Cells That Are Defective in Self-Renewal

    Scientists investigated the role of DNA methyltransferases (Dnmt) in neural differentiation of ESCs and in maintenance of the resulting neural stem cells. They used three types of Dnmt knockout (KO) ESCs, including Dnmt1 KO, Dnmt3a/3b double KO, and Dnmt1/3a/3b triple KO.

    Abstract

    The Adaptation of Bovine Embryonic Stem Cells to the Changes of Feeder Layers

    The morphology, pluripotent marker expression, and differentiation ability of bovine bESCs cultured on low-density, or methanol-fixed mouse embryonic fibroblasts were examined by immunofluorescent staining, Western blotting, real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and RNA-seq.
