| Scientists described a protocol for improved specification of nephron progenitors from hPSCs that resulted in kidney organoids with elongated proximalized nephrons displaying improved proximal tubule maturity. [Nature Protocols] |

|
| 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. [Science Advances] |
|
|
|
| Scientists reported on DNA damage signaling, cell cycle, and transcriptome-level changes in hiPSCs in response to telomere-internal double-strand breaks. [Journal of Molecular Cell Biology] |
|
|
|
| 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. [Stem Cell Research & Therapy] |
|
|
|
| Investigators presented a transgene-free method for the generation of purified, expandable myogenic progenitors from hiPSCs grown under feeder-free conditions. [Stem Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers used human in vitro PSCs and single-cell RNA sequencing to recapitulate the molecular events during sympathoadrenal development. [iScience] |
|
|
|
| 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. [Current Protocols] |
|
|
|
| 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. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| 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. [Genes to Cells] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors summarize the evolution of iPSCs technology and its applications in malignant solid tumors. Additionally, they discuss potential obstacles to iPSC technology. [Stem Cell Reviews and Reports] |

| Associate Professor Mark Denham at the Danish Research Institute of Translational Neuroscience, also known as DANDRITE at Aarhus University, has recently obtained a patent for a research method that he has refined over the past decade. [Aarhus University] |
