| By performing genome-wide CRISPR interference screens in human and chimpanzee PSCs, scientists identified 75 genes with species-specific effects on cellular proliferation. [Cell] |

|
|
| The authors used mouse embryonic stem cell-derived stembryos to understand the mechanism underlying the Hox timer. [Nature Genetics] |
|
|
|
| Using in vitro differentiation of PSCs, researchers recapitulated the segmentation clocks of diverse mammalian species varying in body weight and taxa: marmoset, rabbit, cattle, and rhinoceros. Cell Stem Cell] |

|
| Investigators identified the unexpected role of a highly expressed 2-cell embryo specific transcription factor, ZFP352, in facilitating the dissolution of the totipotency network. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| The authors showed that methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) specifically bound and regulated bivalent domains, which were marked by trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 and lysine 4. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| The dynamic H4K20me3 signature identified during preimplantation development in fertilized embryos differed from nuclear transfer and parthenogenetic activation embryos. [Cell Proliferation] |
|
|
|
| Since no information is available about the capability of female human adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hASCs) to generate putative primordial germ cells, scientists compared protocols to produce such cells from hASCs themselves, or from hASC-derived iPSCs.

|
|
| Colonies formed by mouse ESCs carrying OGTC921Y showed decreased levels of protein O-GlcNAcylation accompanied by decreased levels of Oct4, Sox2, and extracellular alkaline phosphatase, implying reduced self-renewal capacity. [Disease Models & Mechanisms] |
|
|
|
| Scientists showed in a unique site-directed knock-in ESC model, that BCR-ABL expression tightly regulated by doxycycline controlled the formation and the maintenance of immature hematopoietic progenitors. [Experimental Hematology] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors discuss the relevant cell types and cell sources and examine different co-culture approaches for skeletal muscle and adipose tissue engineering. [Nature Reviews Bioengineering] |
|
|
|
|
| Two teams of scientists have announced that they have grown embryo-like structures, made entirely from human stem cells, that are more advanced than any previous efforts. [Nature News] |
