    Dot1l Cooperates with Npm1 To Repress Endogenous Retrovirus MERVL in Embryonic Stem Cells

    Researchers showed that disruptor of telomeric silencing 1-like (Dot1l) repressed endogenous retroviruses in ESCs. Specifically, the absence of Dot1l led to the activation of MERVL.

    NAT10-Mediated N4-Acetylcytidine mRNA Modification Regulates Self-Renewal in Human Embryonic Stem Cells

    Scientists elucidated a previously unrecognized interconnectivity between the core pluripotent transcriptional network for the maintenance of human ESC self-renewal and NAT10-catalyzed N4-acetylcytidine RNA epigenetic modification.

    Full ArticleGraphical Abstract

    Three-Dimensional Molecular Architecture of Mouse Organogenesis

    The authors presented a spatial transcriptomic atlas of all major organs at embryonic day 13.5 in the mouse embryo, and provided a three-dimensional rendering of molecular regulation for embryonic patterning with stacked sections.

    Fatty Acid Synthesis and Oxidation Regulate Human Endoderm Differentiation by Mediating SMAD3 Nuclear Localization via Acetylation

    Researchers defined fatty acid metabolism as a key player in definitive endoderm differentiation from hESCs. Fatty acid β-oxidation was enhanced while lipogenesis was decreased, and this was due to the phosphorylation of lipogenic enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase by AMPK.

    AbstractGraphical Abstract

    Rat Post-Implantation Epiblast-Derived Pluripotent Stem Cells Produce Functional Germ Cells

    Investigators developed optimal culture conditions to derive and propagate post-implantation epiblast-derived PSCs in rats, a valuable model for biomedical research.

    Optogenetic Control of Wnt Signaling Models Cell-Intrinsic Embryogenic Patterning Using 2D Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Culture

    Scientists combined optogenetic stimulation, imaging, and transcriptomic approaches to study self-organization of hESCs in 2D culture.

    APE1 Promotes Embryonic Stem Cell Proliferation and Teratoma Formation by Regulating GDNF/GFRα1 Axis

    The expression of apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) was examined in mESCs by RT-qPCR and western blot. The role and mechanism of APE1 in the proliferation, pluripotency, and differentiation of E14 cells were determined by cell counting, flow cytometry, and western blot assays.
