    Symmetric Inheritance of Parental Histones Contributes to Safeguarding the Fate of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells During Differentiation

    The authors showed that Mcm2-mutated or Pole3-deleted mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) displayed aberrant histone landscapes and impaired neural differentiation.

    Abstract

    Ascl1 and Ngn2 Convert Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells to Neurons via Functionally Distinct Paths

    Researchers showed that Ascl1 and Ngn2 induced mutually exclusive side populations by binding and activating distinct lineage drivers.

    Astrocytic APOE4 Genotype-Mediated Negative Impacts on Synaptic Architecture in Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Model

    Scientists generated a human astrocyte model carrying the APOE3 or APOE4 genotype using hiPSCs in which isogenic APOE4 iPSCs were genome edited from healthy control APOE3 iPSCs.

    GATA1 Deletion in Human Pluripotent Stem Cells Increases Differentiation Yield and Maturity of Neutrophils

    Investigators described a method to improve iNeutrophil differentiations through the deletion of GATA1. GATA1 knockout iNeutrophils were nearly identical to primary neutrophils in form and function.

    DAXX Safeguards Heterochromatin Formation in Embryonic Stem Cells

    The authors identified that DAXX, an H3.3 chaperone essential for the maintenance of ESCs in the ground state, accumulated in pericentromeric regions independently of DNA methylation.

    Abstract

    Generation of an Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Line from a Patient with Epileptic Encephalopathy Caused by the CYFIP2 R87C Variant

    Researchers generated an iPSC line from a patient with epileptic encephalopathy caused by the CYFIP2 R87C variant. They obtained iPSC clones by reprogramming urinary progenitor cells from a female patient.

    Reliable Multiplex Generation of Pooled Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

    Using a deconvolution algorithm that employs pooled sequencing of single-nucleotide polymorphisms, scientists accurately estimated individual donor proportions of the pooled iPSCs.

    Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Totipotency

    Recent technological advances have unveiled molecular features that characterize totipotent cells. Single-cell or low-input sequencing technologies allow the dissection of pre- and post-fertilization developmental processes at the molecular level with high resolution.
