| Researchers showed that GSK-3484862 targets DNMT1 for protein degradation in both cancer cell lines and murine ESCs. DNMT1 depletion was rapid, taking effect within hours following GSK-3484862 treatment, leading to global hypomethylation. [NAR Cancer] |

| Scientists uncovered apical-to-basal RNA asymmetries in outer blastomeres of 16-cell stage mouse preimplantation embryos. Basally directed RNA transport was facilitated in a microtubule- and lysosome-mediated manner. [Nature Communications] |

|
|
| Using notably lattice light-sheet microscopy, correlative light electron microscopy, and lineage assignment, investigators found that ~88% of cells lose centrioles during embryogenesis. [Science Advances] |

|
| The authors reported the generation and phenotypic characterization of Zc3h11a knockout mice. Heterozygous null Zc3h11a mice were born at the expected frequency without distinguishable phenotypic differences compared with wild-type mice.

|
| Investigators developed a mouse blood-brain barrier model, composed of mouse embryonic stem cell-derived brain endothelial-like cells, employing a directed monolayer differentiation strategy. [Fluids And Barriers Of The CNS] |

|
|
| By analyzing Pax2a and Nkx2.4b expression dynamics in relation to endodermal FGF and BMP signaling activities in zebrafish embryos, researchers identified a Pax2a-expressing thyroid progenitor population that shows enhanced FGF signaling but lacks Nkx2.4b expression and BMP signaling.

|
|
| The authors identified a Notch activator and CYP modulator Valproic Acid, as a promotor for the maturation of iPSC-ent. [Stem Cells] |

|
| Scientists identified a function of cyclin F to regulate substrate solubility and showed how cyclin F mechanistically underlay amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia disease pathogenesis. [Molecular Neurobiology] |

|
| Investigators highlight recent findings describing the dynamics and driving mechanisms for establishing 3D chromatin organization and discuss the role such organization has on gene regulation in early embryonic development. [Current Opinion In Structural Biology] |

| On the table was a nearly half-billion-dollar research plan to develop revolutionary stem cell and genetic treatments for afflictions ranging from cancer to heart disease. The proposed budget boosted spending by 41 percent for 2023-24 over expenditures for the current fiscal year. [Capitol Weekly] |
