|
|
| Investigators presented an efficient stepwise differentiation method to generate human pharyngeal foregut endoderm from PSCs. [Developmental Cell] |
|
|
|
| To dissect X-dosage effects on the signaling network in mESCs, the authors combined systematic perturbation experiments with mathematical modeling. [Molecular Systems Biology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists showed that the lncRNA-associated protein TOBF1 modulated the alternative splicing of transcripts necessary for maintaining stem cell identity in mouse ESCs. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors tested the hypothesis that the PPP2R2B antisense transcript containing a CUG repeat was expressed and contributes to spinocerebellar ataxia type 12 pathogenesis. [Movement Disorders] |
|
|
|
| Researchers aimed to determine the effects on energy metabolism and differentiation ability of mouse ESCs following deletion of the mitochondrial fission-related gene Dnml1. [Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences] |
|
|
|
| Investigators developed a method to generate three-dimensional myelin spheroids from hiPSCs in a robust and reproducible manner. [iScience] |
|
|
|
| Researchers evaluated the potential beneficial effects of iPSC-derived extracellular vesicles in an in vitro model of fibrosis using mouse mesangial cells stimulated with transforming growth factor beta. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists described scalable techniques for generating 10,000–100,000 organoids that further matured in four to five weeks into α- and β-like cells with glucose-responsive insulin and glucagon release. [Star Protocols] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors review the recent advances in patients-derived iPSCs as ex vivo models for mitochondrial diseases. Patients-derived iPSCs have been differentiated into specific targeting cells such as retinal ganglion cells and eventually organoid for the disease modeling. [Journal of Biomedical Science] |

|
| Despite negative feedback from the research community, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has decided to move forward with a policy requiring that foreign scientists receiving ‘subawards’ from the agency must share their laboratory notebooks and other raw data with their research partner in the US.
