| Scientists generated microglia-sufficient brain organoids by coculturing brain organoids with primitive-like macrophages generated from the same human iPSCs. [Nature] |

|
| Investigators suggested that cytoplasmic lattices enrich maternally provided proteins to prevent their premature degradation and cellular activity, thereby enabling early mammalian development. [Cell] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the role of nuclear receptor transcription factors, whose motifs were highly enriched and accessible from the 2-cell to 8-cell stages in mouse embryos. [Cell Research] |
|
|
|
| The authors reported the generation of large numbers of human-induced steroidogenic cells (hiSCs) from hPSCs. Directed differentiation of hPSCs into hiSCs recapitulates the initial stages of human adrenal development. [Cell Reports Methods] |
|
|
|
| Scientists utilized a factorial experimental design coupled with statistical modelling to understand which signaling pathways are involved in the transition between ESCs and early primitive ectoderm-like cells. [Development] |
|
|
|
| To test the implication of RET on the hematopoietic potential of iPSCs, researchers activated its pathway with the lentiviral overexpression of RETWT or RETC634Y mutation in normal iPSCs. [Cytotherapy] |
|
|
|
| Scientists performed biological analyses to identify the key components involved in glutamate biosynthesis, packaging for secretion, reaction, and reuptake in ESCs, including glutaminase, vesicular glutamate transporter, glutamate N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor, and cell membrane excitatory amino-acid transporter. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers reported a protocol for small molecule-mediated induction of the neural crest state from blastula stem cells and validated it using transcriptome analysis and grafting experiments. [Developmental Biology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators derived iPS cells from cat embryonic fibroblasts retrovirally transfected with mouse Oct3/4, Klf4, Sox2, and c-Myc. After transfection, embryonic fibroblasts were reseeded onto inactivated SNL 76/7 and cultured in a medium supplemented with basic fibroblast growth factor.

|
|
| The authors focus on the mechanism of the angiogenic effect of iPSCs-derived exosomes on wound repair in tissue injury and their potential therapeutic targets, with a view to providing a theoretical basis for the use of iPSCs-derived exosomes in clinical therapy. [Angiology] |

| The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) and publisher Cell Press are extending their partnership to publish the ISSCR’s open access, peer-reviewed journal, Stem Cell Reports. [The International Society for Stem Cell Research] |

| As a Nobel laureate, Prof Frances Arnold is not short of accolades. Yet being the only woman to so far win the Millennium Technology Prize – the Nobel equivalent for engineers – is one of the least appealing. [The Guardian] |
