|
| The authors explored how the characteristics of the two types of alternative lengthening of telomere lines reflected their fates using multi-omics approaches. [Nucleic Acids Research] |

|
| Investigators performed genome-wide profiling of H3K9me3 in cumulus cell-derived somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos. They found redundant H3K9me3 marks were closely related to defective minor zygotic genome activation. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Using chromatin tracing, researchers analyzed X chromosome folding conformations in naïve and primed hPSCs with megabase genomic resolution. [Science Advances] |
|
|
|
| Scientists found that overexpression of Rhox6 favored the formation of primordial germ cell-like cells (PGCLCs), while depletion of Rhox6 inhibited the generation of PGCLCs. [Cell & Bioscience] |
|
|
|
| iPSCs were generated via a platelet lysate or fetal bovine serum-based culturing protocol from matched dermal, buccal, and gingival human fibroblasts, isolated from healthy donors after informed consent, via episomal plasmid transfection. [Stem Cell Research & Therapy] |
|
|
|
| To explore the mechanism for FAcilitates Chromatin Transactions (FACT) function, investigators generated auxin-inducible degron-tagged murine embryonic cell lines for FACT subunit suppressor of Ty 16 homolog and paired depletion with nascent transcription and chromatin accessibility analyses. [BMC Biology] |
|
|
|
| The high-efficiency human ESC-endothelial cell induction system was established in a previous study. Scientists applied single-cell RNA sequencing of the differentiated cells at different time points and investigated the gene expression profiles. [Stem Cell Reviews and Reports] |
|
|
|
| Using a low-input MNase-seq method, researchers showed that nucleosome positioning was globally obscured in zygotes but became well-defined during subsequent development. [Europe Pmc] |

|
|
| The authors outline the regulations related to PSC-derived cell-based therapeutic products in the founding regions of International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use. [Stem Cell Reports] |

|
| BlueRock Therapeutics LP and bit.bio announced a collaboration and option agreement for the discovery and manufacture of iPSC-derived Tregs for use in creating therapeutics. The collaboration leverages bit.bio’s machine learning-powered platform to identify transcription factor combinations for reprogramming iPSCs into Tregs. [BlueRock Therapeutics] |
