    A Single-Cell Time-Lapse of Mouse Prenatal Development from Gastrula to Birth

    To establish a global framework for exploring mammalian development, researchers applied optimized single-cell combinatorial indexing3 to profile the transcriptional states of 12.4 million nuclei from 83 embryos, precisely staged at two- to six-hour intervals spanning late gastrulation to birth.

    Aberrant Landscapes of Maternal Meiotic Crossovers Contribute to Aneuploidies in Human Embryos

    SScientists introduced an approach for inferring sex-specific recombination landscapes using data from preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy.

    Abstract

    PRAMEL7 and CUL2 Decrease NuRD Stability to Establish Ground-State Pluripotency

    Preferentially Expressed Antigen in Melanoma-like 7 (RAMEL7) recruited Cullin2 (CUL2) to chromatin and targeted regulators of repressive chromatin, including the Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase (NuRD) complex, for proteasomal degradation.

    Macrophages Derived from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) Serve as a High-Fidelity Cellular Model for Investigating HIV-1, Dengue, and Influenza Viruses

    Investigators explored whether macrophages derived from human iPSCs—which proliferate indefinitely and potentially provide unlimited starting material—could serve as a faithful model system for studying virus biology.

    Abstract

    Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Are Resistant to Human Cytomegalovirus Infection Primarily at the Attachment Level Due to the Reduced Expression of Cell-Surface Heparan Sulfate

    Scientists compared the susceptibility of neonatal human dermal fibroblast cells and human hiPSCs derived from neonatal human dermal fibroblast cells, which were genetically identical to human cytomegalovirus, using immunostaining, microarray, in situ hybridization, quantitative PCR, and SEM.

    ZFP982 Confers Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell Characteristics by Regulating Expression of Nanog, Zfp42 and Dppa3

    The authors used multi-omics analyses to identify and characterize stemness genes, and focused on the zinc finger protein 982 that regulated stemness through the expression of Nanog, Zfp42, and Dppa3 in mouse ESCs.

    Establishment of African Pygmy Mouse Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Using Defined Doxycycline Inducible Transcription Factors

    Researchers established M. minutoides iPSCs using the PiggyBac transposon system for applications in developmental engineering. The established M. minutoides iPSCs were found to express pluripotency markers and could differentiate into neurons.

    Human Archetypal Pluripotent Stem Cells Differentiate into Trophoblast Stem Cells via Endogenous BMP5/7 Induction without Transitioning through Naive State

    The authors demonstrated that the primed pluripotent state could generate trophoblast stem cells by activating pathways such as Epidermal Growth Factor and Wingless-related integration site.

    Generation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Line (VRISGi004-a) from a Healthy Female Donor by Reprogramming Erythroid Progenitor Cells

    Scientists generated a hiPSC line from erythroid progenitor cells of a 20-year-old female healthy donor using Sendai virus vector encoding Yamanaka factors OCT3/4, SOX2, c-MYC, and KLF4.

    Pluripotent Stem Cell-Based Cardiac Regenerative Therapy for Heart Failure

    Transplantation of hPSC-cardiomyocytes (CMs) into the myocardium of large animals in a myocardial infarction model improved cardiac function. The engrafted hPSC-CMs matured, and microvessels derived from the host entered the graft abundantly.
