    Differentiation of BCMA-Specific Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells into CD8ab+ T Cells Targeting Myeloma

    Investigators identified specific transcriptional patterns that could serve as a biomarker for the selection of suitable iPSC clones for the successful development of antigen-specific CD8αβ+ memory T cells to improve multiple myeloma patient outcomes.

    Optogenetic Control of YAP Reveals a Dynamic Communication Code for Stem Cell Fate and Proliferation

    The authors revealed that cells decode the steady-state concentrations and timing of YAP activation to control proliferation, cell fate, and expression of the pluripotency regulators Oct4 and Nanog.

    The PERK Branch of the Unfolded Protein Response Safeguards Protein Homeostasis and Mesendoderm Specification of Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

    Scientists showed that proteotoxic stress visualized by the misfolded and/or aggregated proteins appeared during early cardiac differentiation of hPSCs and was resolved by activation of the protein kinase RNA-like ER kinase (PERK) branch of unfolded protein response.

    Abstract

    A Novel Perfusion Bioreactor Promotes the Expansion of Pluripotent Stem Cells in a 3D-Bioprinted Tissue Chamber

    Researchers designed a perfusion bioreactor for an hiPSC-laden, 3D-bioprinted chamber with the goal of proliferating the hiPSCs throughout the structure prior to differentiation to generate a thick tissue model.

    Abstract

    Short C-Terminal Musashi-1 Proteins Regulate Pluripotency States in Embryonic Stem Cells

    Scientists reported the presence of short C-terminal Musashi-1 proteins in early mouse embryos and mouse ESCs, but not in human ESCs, under conventional culture conditions.

    Metabolic Plasticity Sustains the Robustness of Caenorhabditis elegans Embryogenesis

    By analyzing the levels of two major nutrients, glycogen and neutral lipids, researchers discovered stage-dependent usage of these two nutrients along with mitochondrial morphology changes during Caenorhabditis elegans embryogenesis.

    Derived Myeloid Lineage Induced Pluripotent Stem as a Platform to Study Human CCR5Δ32 Homozygotes

    Scientists developed a step-wise protocol that differentiated iPSCs from individuals homozygous for the C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5)Δ32 variant and healthy volunteers into myeloid lineage induced monocytes and macrophages.

    Divergent Roles of KLF4 During Primordial Germ Cell Fate Induction from Human Embryonic Stem Cells

    Researchers induced human primordial germ cell (PGC)-like cells (hPGCLCs) from hESCs and the derived hPGCLCs upregulated PGC-related genes, like SOX17, BLIMP1, TFAP2C, NANOS3, and the naïve pluripotency gene KLF4.

    Open-Access Reformers Launch Next Bold Publishing Plan

    The group behind the radical open-access initiative Plan S has announced its next big plan to shake up research publishing — and this one could be bolder than the first. It wants all versions of an article and its associated peer-review reports to be published openly from the outset, without authors paying any fees.
