| Using expansion microscopy, researchers found striking changes in heparan sulfate nanostructure occured as human pluripotent stem cells differentiate, and these changes correlated with growth factor signaling. [ACS Nano] |

|
| The authors identified a gene set of 118 genes commonly dysregulated in all patient enteric neural crest cells, and suggested HDAC1 may be a key regulator of these genes. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Scientists uncovered a homozygous p.Thr543Met variant segregating with a neonatal lethal syndrome with cutaneous, craniofacial, cardiac, and limb anomalies. [EMBO Molecular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| The authors induced human ESCs as endothelial cell (EC) lineage and produced high-purity ECs through fluorescence-activated cell sorting. [Advanced Healthcare Materials] |
|
|
|
| Investigators showed that mouse ESCs solely exposed to chemical inhibition of SUMOylation generate embryo-like structures comprising anterior neural and trunk-associated regions. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers presented the generation and characterization of astrocytes from human ESCs with the characteristics of the ventral midbrain. [Stem Cell Reviews And Reports] |
|
|
|
| After a CRISPR/Cas9-based functional genomics screen and integrative analysis with other functional genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes and epigenome data, an expanded pluripotency-associated gene set was obtained, and a new pluripotency gene regulatory network with nine sub-classes was constructed. [Communications Biology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators determined the role of miR-146a in vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) differentiation from ESCs. Mouse ESCs were differentiated into VSMCs, and the cell extracts were analyzed by Western blotting and RT-qPCR. [Current Medical Science] |
|
|
|
| CRISPR-Cas9-based functional genomics screening offered a powerful approach to determine gene function in a high-throughput manner. With the maturation of stem cell technology, a variety of human cell types could be derived from human PSCs. [Cell Genomics] |
| |
|
|
|
| Investigators present a thorough review of the characteristics, functions, and clinical importance of MSCs. The existing sources of MSCs, including adult- and infant-based sources, are compared. [Biomaterials Research] |
|
|
|
| The authors discuss their applications in studies of regulatory mechanisms involved in early developmental processes, including identification of molecular features, X chromosome inactivation modeling, transposable elements regulation, metabolic characteristics, and cell fate regulation. [Cell Reports] |

|
|
|
| The Sanford Stem Cell Institute at UC San Diego has announced the launch of a collaborative Astrobiotechnology Hub to further advance space stem cell and molecular research in a new realm. [The Guardian] |
|
|
|
| The SIMPATHIC Consortium, led by the Radboud University Medical Center and Amsterdam UMC, has developed a new approach to expedite the use of existing drugs for groups of patients with rare neurological disorders. [Amsterdam UMC] |
