| Investigators presented a genetically inducible stem cell-derived embryoid model of early post-implantation human embryogenesis that captured the reciprocal co-development of embryonic tissue and extra-embryonic endoderm and mesoderm niche with early hematopoiesis. [Nature] |

|
| The authors found that XIST spread across the X chromosome and induced dampening of X-linked gene expression in naive hPSCs. Surprisingly, XIST also targets specific autosomal regions, where it induces repressive chromatin changes and gene expression dampening. [Cell] |

|
| Scientists showed that mouse embryos in diapause were sustained by using lipids as primary energy source. In vitro, supplementation of embryos with the metabolite L-carnitine balances lipid consumption, put the embryos in deeper dormancy and boosted embryo longevity. [Nature Cell Biology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers showed that mouse ESCs captured the unique metabolic state of preimplantation embryos and proliferated in the absence of several essential amino acids. [Nature Metabolism] |
|
|
|
| Scientists achieved a direct transfer of human chromosome 6 or 21 as a model from hiPSCs as alternative human chromosome donors into CHO cells containing mouse artificial chromosome. [Nucleic Acids Research] |
|
|
|
| Using culture modeling of cellular transitions, researchers found that DNA methylation-free mouse ESCs with triple DNA methyltransferase knockout progressed through the continuum of pluripotency states but demonstrated skewed differentiation abilities toward neural versus other somatic lineages.

|
|
|
| The authors used targeted proteomics of the mitotic bookmarking transcription factor ESRRB, an orphan nuclear receptor, to discover a large redundancy in mitotic binding among members of the protein super-family of nuclear receptors. [Nature Structural & Molecular Biology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators described a large-scale method for producing homogeneous hiPSC-derived cardiac spheroids and cardiac organoids without scaffolds using a porous 3D microwell substratum with a suction system. [Cell Reports Methods] |
|
|
|
| Researchers leveraged a stepwise in vitro differentiation system that captured the early embryonic developmental cascade to investigate the impact of exposure to the most abundant phytocannabinoid, Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol. [eLife] |
|
|
|
| Immature oocytes, opportunistically retrieved from sexually inactive females, underwent first in vitro maturation and then in vitro fertilization via piezo-intracytoplasmic sperm injection. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators discuss how PSC-based models of development can be used to investigate cell- and tissue-autonomous temporal processes. [Current Opinion In Genetics & Development] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors discuss a set of six complementary hallmarks in the context of some of the best-understood adult stem cell niches. [Cell Stem Cell] |

|
|
| Deepcell has entered into a research collaboration with NVIDIA to accelerate the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in single cell research for cancer, stem cells and cell therapies. [PharmaTimes] |
