    LIS1 RNA-Binding Orchestrates the Mechanosensitive Properties of Embryonic Stem Cells in AGO2-Dependent and Independent Ways

    The authors showed that LIS1 was essential for the viability of mouse ESCs, and it governed the physical properties of these cells.

    On-Chip Real-Time Impedance Monitoring of hiPSC-Derived and Artificial Basement Membrane-Supported Endothelium

    Researchers constructed a model to explore the effect of stiffness changes in mouse trophoblast stem cells (mTSCs) on implantation: microcarrier was prepared by sodium alginate using a droplet microfluidics system, and mTSCs were attached to the microcarrier surface with laminin modifications, called T(micro).

    The Circadian Clock CRY1 Regulates Pluripotent Stem Cell Identity and Somatic Cell Reprogramming

    Reprogramming somatic cells to a pluripotent state, the authors highlighted non-canonical functions of the circadian repressor Cryptochrome 1 (CRY1) specific to PSCs.

    Suspension Culture Improves iPSC Expansion and Pluripotency Phenotype

    Sendai virus transfection of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells was used to establish mycoplasma and virus free iPSC lines without common genetic duplications or deletions. iPSCs were then expanded under 2D planar and 3D suspension culture conditions.

    iPSCs Ameliorate Hypoxia-Induced Autophagy and Atrophy in C2C12 Myotubes via the AMPK/ULK1 Pathway

    Investigators co-cultured iPSCs with C2C12 myoblasts using a Transwell nested system and placed them in a DG250 anaerobic workstation for oxygen deprivation for 24 hours.

    Abstract

    A Monoclonal Antibody Raised against Human EZH2 Cross-Reacts with the RNA-Binding Protein SAFB

    The authors reported that a broadly used rabbit monoclonal antibody raised against human EZH2 cross-reacted with an RNA-binding protein called Scaffold Attachment Factor B (SAFB) in mouse ESCs under buffer conditions that are commonly used for chromatin immunoprecipitation.

    GSK-3α/β and MEK Inhibitors Assist the Microenvironment of Tumor Initiation

    Human iPSCs reprogrammed from monocytes of healthy volunteers were cultured in a media containing 50% of the conditioned medium from human pancreatic cancer derived BxPC3 cells supplemented with a MEK inhibitor and a GSK-3α/β inhibitor.

    Generation of an Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Lines NSHDMUi001-A from Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

    The authors reprogrammed pEP4EO2SEN2K and pEP4EO2SET2K, pCEP4-M2L was electrotransfected in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with pEP4EO2SEN2K, and in T2DM patients expressing the OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, LIN28, c-MYC, KLF4, and SV40LT transcription factors to obtain iPSCs.

    Harnessing Three-Dimensional (3D) Cell Culture Models for Pulmonary Infections: State of the Art and Future Directions

    Mammalian embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells may display their remarkable self-organizing abilities in 3D culture, and the resulting organoids replicate important structural and functional characteristics of organs such the kidney, lung, gut, brain, and retina.
