| Investigators characterized the persistence and emergence of epigenetic memory and aberrations that emerge during reprogramming by performing genome-wide DNA methylation profiling throughout primed and naive reprogramming of human somatic cells to hiPSCs. [Nature] |

|
| The authors reconstructed trajectories from the yolk sac hemogenic endothelium to early hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. [Science] |
|
|
|
| Researchers showed that a subset of young LINE-1s, L1Md_Ts, were marked by the RNA polymerase II elongation factor ELL3, and functioned as enhancers in mouse ESCs. [Nature Cell Biology] |
|
|
|
| SOX2, SOX17, and SOX17FNV were all able to bind nucleosome core particles in vitro, which is a prerequisite for pioneer transcription factors. [Nucleic Acids Research] |
|
|
|
| Researchers reported that the overexpression of negative elongation factor A (Nelfa), a maternally provided factor, enhanced the conversion of ESCs into 2C-like cells in chemically defined conditions, while the deletion of endogenous Nelfa did not block this transition. [Cell Proliferation] |
|
|
|
| Scientists reported a rapid and simple protocol to differentiate motor neurons in monolayer culture using small molecules, which led to nearly pure neural stem cells in six days, robust OLIG2+ pMNs in 12 days, enriched CHAT+ cervical spinal MNs. [Stem Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators used the in vitro differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into cardiomyocytes to study the role of c-JUN. The knockout of c-JUN improved cardiomyocyte generation, as determined by the number of TNNT2+ cells. [Life Science Alliance] |
|
|
|
| The Arginine-Glycine-Aspartate motif was incorporated into a recombinant elastin-like peptide (REP). hESCs were treated with REP containing RGD motif during suspension and cryopreservation, and the survival rate was analyzed. [Tissue Engineering And Regenerative Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Researchers hypothesized that p66Shc could act as a negative regulator of ERK activity during embryonic development, antagonizing early lineage commitment. To explore the role of p66Shc in stem cell self-renewal and differentiation, they created a p66Shc knockout murine ESC line. [Stem Cells And Development] |

|
| Investigators describe the progress and challenges of corneal epithelial and endothelial regenerative medicine and the promising future of corneal regenerative medicine with iPS cells. [Japanese Journal Of Ophthalmology] |
|
|
|
|
| It is time for a redefinition of the human embryo, a team of researchers has proposed. Advances in recent years have shown that human stem cells can be used to make embryo-like structures, called embryo models, that can recreate some features of early embryo development. [Nature News] |
