    The Translational Oscillation in Oocyte and Early Embryo Development

    Researchers uncovered a highly dynamic and oscillatory pattern of translational reprogramming that contributed to the translational regulation of specific mRNAs with different modes of polysomal occupancy/translation that were important for oocyte and embryo developmental competence.

    DOT1L Is a Barrier to Histone Acetylation During Reprogramming to Pluripotency

    The authors found that ESCs were depleted for H3K79me2 at shared locations of enrichment with somatic cells, which were highly and ubiquitously expressed housekeeping genes, and had lower RNA polymerase II at the transcription start site despite greater nascent transcription.

    Priming of Macrophage by Glycosphingolipids from Extracellular Vesicles Facilitates Immune Tolerance for Embryo-Maternal Crosstalk

    Investigators examined the glycosphingolipids profiles of extracellular vesicles secreted from human ESCs and investigated their functions in priming macrophages to enhance immune tolerance of embryo implantation.

    Human Skeletal Muscle Organoids Model Fetal Myogenesis and Sustain Uncommitted PAX7 Myogenic Progenitors

    Scientists reported that human skeletal muscle organoids could be differentiated from iPSC lines to contain paraxial mesoderm and neuromesodermal progenitors and develop into organized structures reassembling neural plate border and dermomyotome.

    Overexpression of ZNF488 Supports Pancreatic Cancer Cell Proliferation and Tumorigenesis through Inhibition of Ferroptosis via Regulating SCD1-Mediated Unsaturated Fatty Acid Metabolism

    Human ESCcs were genetically modified to stably overexpress ferritin using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. Cellular toxicity associated with ferritin overexpression and manganese supplementation were assessed based on cell viability, proliferation, and metabolic activity.

    Generation of an NCS1 Gene Knockout Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Line Using CRISPR/Cas9

    Researchers generated a NCS1 knockout human hiPSC line using CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing. It showed regular expression of pluripotent markers, normal iPSC morphology and karyotype as well as no detectable off-target effects on top 6 potentially affected genes.

    Human Fetal Tissue Is Critical for Biomedical Research

    The authors increased functionality of cells derived from fetal tissues arises from increased proliferative capacity, ability to survive in culture, and developmental potential that is attenuated in adult tissues.
