    A Human iPSC-Array-Based GWAS Identifies a Virus Susceptibility Locus in the NDUFA4 Gene and Functional Variants

    Investigators reported a hiPSC-based screening strategy to link human genetics with viral infectivity. A genome-wide association study identified a cluster of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in a cis-regulatory region of the NDUFA4 gene, which was associated with susceptibility to Zika virus infection.

    Enhanced Metanephric Specification to Functional Proximal Tubule Enables Toxicity Screening and Infectious Disease Modelling in Kidney Organoids

    Investigators showed that enhanced specification to metanephric nephron progenitors results in elongated and radially aligned proximalised nephrons with distinct S1 – S3 proximal tubule cell types.

    Abstract

    The Centrosomal Protein 83 (CEP83) Regulates Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Differentiation towards the Kidney Lineage

    The authors induced inactivating deletions of CEP83 in hiPSCs and applied a 7 day in vitro protocol of intermediate mesoderm kidney progenitor differentiation, based on timed application of WNT and FGF agonists.

    Abstract

    Human Retinal Organoids Harboring IMPG2 Mutations Exhibit a Photoreceptor Outer Segment Phenotype That Models Advanced Retinitis Pigmentosa

    Researchers generated retinal organoids from patient-derived iPS cells and gene-edited ESCs to model human IMPG2-retinitis pigmentosa in vitro.
