    Quiescence Enables Unrestricted Cell Fate in Naive Embryonic Stem Cells

    Investigators showed that quiescent embryonic stem cells possess an expanded or unrestricted cell fate, capable of generating both embryonic and extraembryonic cell types.

    ATG5 Attenuates Inflammatory Signaling in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells to Control Differentiation

    Researchers found that autophagy-related protein ATG5 was essential for both attenuated inflammatory response and differentiation of mouse ESCs and that attenuation of inflammatory signaling was required for mouse ESC differentiation.

    Mouse SAS-6 Is Required for Centriole Formation in Embryos and Integrity in Embryonic Stem Cells

    Scientists reported that Sass6‑mutant mouse embryos lack centrioles, activate the mitotic surveillance cell death pathway, and were arrested at mid‑gestation. In contrast, SAS‑6 was not required for centriole formation in mouse ESCs, but was essential to maintain centriole architecture.

    Abstract

    Manufacturing Parameters for the Creation of Clinical-Grade Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Lines From Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

    Scientists described the establishment of the first clinical-grade iPSC lines from umbilical cord mesenchymal stromal cells in Brazil.

    Abstract

    TBXT Dose Sensitivity and the Decoupling of Nascent Mesoderm Specification from EMT Progression in 2D Human Gastruloids

    Investigators defined the transcriptional consequences of TBXT dosage reduction during early human gastrulation using hiPSC models of gastrulation and mesoderm differentiation.
    [Development]

    Abstract

    Multiomics Evaluation of Human iPSCs and iPSC-Derived Neurons

    Researchers conducted integrated proteomics, lipidomics, and metabolomics analyses with confident identification, accurate quantification, and reproducible measurements to compare the molecular profiles of human iPSCs and iPSC-derived neurons.

    AbstractGraphical Abstract

    Interlinked Bi-Stable Switches Govern the Cell Fate Commitment of Embryonic Stem Cells

    Investigators demonstrated that steady-state dynamics involving two bistable switches which were interlinked via a stepwise and a mushroom-like manner orchestrate the fate specification of embryonic stem cells.

    Abstract

    Generation of an Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Line (SDQLCHi067-a) from a Patient with Subcortical Band Heterotopia Harboring a Heterozygous Mutation in DCX Gene

    A human iPSCs line was established from a 4-year-1-month-old girl with subcortical band heterotopia carrying a heterozygous mutation in DCX. The generated iPSC line showed the ability to differentiate into three lineages in vitro and was confirmed by pluripotency markers and the original gene mutation.

    Abstract

    Generation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Line NIMHi010-A from Dermal Fibroblast Cells of a Healthy Individual

    Scientists established hiPSC line, NIMHi010-A of a 42-year-old healthy donor. The iPSC line was generated from human dermal fibroblasts using Sendai viruses carrying reprogramming factors c-MYC, SOX2, KLF4, and OCT4 under a feeder-free culture system.

    Cellular Reprogramming as a Tool to Model Human Aging in a Dish

    Scientists explore the potential of 2D or 3D culture models comprising human induced pluripotent stem cells and transdifferentiated cells obtained from aged or age-related disorder-affected donors to enhance our understanding of human aging and to catalyze the discovery of anti-aging interventions.
