    Screening of Factors Inducing Alveolar Type 1 Epithelial Cells Using Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

    The authors established SFTPCGFP and AGERmCherry-HiBiT dual-reporter iPSCs, which detected alveolar type 2 (AT2)-to-alveolar type 1 (AT1) cell differentiation with high sensitivity and identified factors inducing AT1 cell differentiation from AT2 and their progenitor cells.

    SALL3 Mediates the Loss of Neuroectodermal Differentiation Potential in Human Embryonic Stem Cells with Chromosome 18q Loss

    Investigators showed that the loss of chromosome 18q impaired neuroectoderm commitment and that downregulation of SALL3, a gene located in the common 18q loss region, was responsible for this failed neuroectodermal differentiation.

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

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

    Abstract

    Crispr-Based Editing of Human Pluripotent Stem Cells for Disease Modeling

    The authors edited the AG bases in exons anterior to achieve gene knockout via the ABE8e-SpRY, which recognized most expanded protospacer adjacent motif to target the genome.
