| Scientists developed a human pluripotent stem cell-based approach to synchronize the birth of cortical neurons in vitro which helped to define an atlas of morphological, functional, and molecular maturation. [Nature] |

|
|
| Researchers stimulated the retinoic acid (RA) pathway by treating zebrafish embryos with all-trans-RA and used a combination of RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq and HiChIP to gain insight into the molecular mechanisms by which exogenously induced RA signaling controlled gene expression.

|
| Investigators demonstrated that teratomas derived from aneuploid murine ESCs, but not from isogenic diploid ESCs, disseminated to multiple organs, for which no additional copy number variations were required. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Using mass spectrometry-based interactomics methods, affinity purification-mass spectrometry and proximity-dependent biotin labeling, and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing, scientists derived the comprehensive regulatory networks of these preimplantation transcription factors. [EMBO Reports] |
|
|
|
| To study the intermediate stages of early and late gastrulation, researchers determined the transcriptomes of the 1- to 102-cell stage to identify 119 embryonic cell-states during cell-fate specification, including ‘equivalence-group’ cell identities. [eLife] |
|
|
|
| The authors generated iPSCs from healthy fetal liver (FL) cells and produced isogenic primitive or definitive red blood cells (RBCs) which were compared directly to the FL-derived RBCs. [Blood Advances] |
|
|
|
| Scientists showed that the degree of coordination of allelic bursting differed among genes, and alleles of many reprogramming-related genes burst in a highly coordinated fashion. [Life Science Alliance] |

|
| Administration of Go6983 increased Prdm14 expression mainly through the inhibition of PKCδ. High constitutive expression of Prdm14 phenocopied the ability of Go6983 to maintain` mouse ESC stemness in the absence of self-renewal-promoting cytokines. [Journal Of Biological Chemistry] |
|
|
|
| Researchers examined the electrophysiological mechanism of early repolarization syndrome (ERS) utilizing iPSCs and CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. Whole genome sequencing was used to identify the dipeptidyl-peptidase 6 (DPP6) variant in four families with sudden cardiac arrest induced by ERS. [Experimental Cell Research] |
|
|
|
| With NKX2.5eGFP H9 hESCs, investigators established single and double knockout cell lines for HAND1 and HAND2, respectively, whose cardiomyocyte differentiation efficiency could be monitored by assessing NKX2.5-eGFP+ cells with flow cytometry. [Current Stem Cell Research & Therapy] |

|
| The authors highlight studies from the past five years on the contributions of iPSCs within neuroproteomic investigations, which uncover the molecular mechanisms behind neurodegenerative illnesses. [Academic Radiology] |

|
| Third-year students at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences worked with the Harvard Stem Cell Institute iPS Core Facility last fall to design a pair of solutions to reduce the time spent on day-to-day operations. [Harvard University] |

| NASA astronaut Kate Rubins conducted hundreds of experiments during her time on the International Space Station; now she discusses her experience conducting this pioneering research on the orbiting laboratory. [ISS National Laboratory] |
