    Epigenetic Dynamics during Capacitation of Naïve Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

    The authors found that capacitated hPSCs were transcriptionally closer to postimplantation epiblast than conventional hPSCs. They also found that capacitated hPSCs acquired an epigenetic state similar to conventional hPSCs.

    Telomeric DNA Breaks in Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Trigger ATR-Mediated Arrest and Telomerase-Independent Telomere Damage Repair

    Scientists reported on DNA damage signaling, cell cycle, and transcriptome-level changes in hiPSCs in response to telomere-internal double-strand breaks.

    Abstract

    Role of YAP in Hematopoietic Differentiation and Erythroid Lineage Specification of Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

    Researchers investigated the role of YAP, Yorkie homolog, during the hematopoietic differentiation of hiPSCs to hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells and erythrocytes using the isogenic YAP-overexpressing and YAP-depleting hiPSCs.

    Current Strategies of Modeling Human Trophoblast Using Human Pluripotent Stem Cells In Vitro

    Scientists described in detail the protocols to derive and maintain PSC-trophoblast stem cell, from both ESC and patient-derived iPSC, and their subsequent terminal differentiation to syncytiotrophoblasts and extravillous trophoblasts.

    Estimating Residual Undifferentiated Cells in Human Chemically Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Derived Islets Using lncRNA as Biomarkers

    Researchers developed a highly sensitive assay to detect residual undifferentiated cells in islet cells derived from human chemically induced pluripotent stem cells, which were transgene-free and safer.

    The Role of Zfp352 in the Regulation of Transient Expression of 2-Cell Specific Genes in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells

    Investigators reported a novel function of Zfp352, one of the 2-cell specific genes, in regulating the 2-cell-gene labeled cell sub-population. They suggested the dual roles of Zfp352 in regulating the transient activation of the 2-cell-specific genes.
