|
| The authors showed that Xenopus laevis embryos were much more sensitive to a diverse set of chemical and molecular-biological perturbations when allowed to develop alone or in small groups, than in large groups. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Using Zfp281 knockout mouse and degron knockin cell models, investigators identified the direct transcriptional activation of Dnmt3a/3b by ZFP281 in PSCs. [Developmental Cell] |
|
|
|
| Natural killer (NK) cell deficiency in a patient presented as loss of functionally mature late-stage NK cells. To understand how MCM10 deficiency affects NK cell development, researchers generated MCM10 heterozygous iPSC lines. [Open Biology] |
|
|
|
| To further understand the role of the ubiquitin proteasome system in pluripotency, investigators performed an RNAi screen during induction of cellular reprogramming and have identified FBXO9 as a novel regulator of pluripotency associated protein DPPA5. [Stem Cells] |
|
|
|
| Researchers showed that human-iPSCs reprogrammed from somatic cells show progressive telomere lengthening until reaching a length similar to ESCs. [Cell Cycle] |
|
|
|
| Investigators took advantage of disease-specific iPS cells and generated & characterized the heterozygous ATTR Tyr114Cys amyloidosis-specific iPS cells, to determine whether Y114C iPS cells could be useful for elucidating the pathogenesis of ATTR Tyr114Cys amyloidosis. [Heliyon] |
|
|
|
| Urine-derived epithelial cells were collected from the fresh urine of a healthy donor and transducted with reprogramming plasmid mixture to generate iPSCs. [International Journal Of Medical Sciences] |
|
|
|
| Researchers reprogrammed skin fibroblasts of one male individual and generated two iPSC lines, which exhibited the characteristic ESC-like morphology, demonstrated robust expression of key pluripotency factors, and displayed multilineage differentiation potential. [Stem Cell Research] |
|
|
|
|
| Investigators explored the impact of different 3D bioprinting technologies and bioink materials on seed cells, providing a comprehensive overview of the current landscape of cell sources that have been used or hold potential in 3D bioprinting. [Heliyon] |
|
|
|
| The authors focus on the progress made with iPSC lines derived from endangered and extinct species, exploring their potential applications and limitations in animal welfare research. [Veterinary Research Communications] |

|
| The critically endangered northern white rhino could be saved from the brink of extinction after scientists performed the first successful embryo transfer in white rhinos. [The Guardian] |
|
|
|
| The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has abandoned a controversial plan to phase out all use of mammals to test the safety of chemicals by 2035. The hard deadline made EPA unique among US federal agencies. [Science Insider] |
