Targeting De Novo Lipid Synthesis Induces Lipotoxicity and Impairs DNA Damage Repair in Glioblastoma Mouse Models
Investigators reported that YTX-7739 triggered lipotoxicity in patient-derived glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs) and inhibits fatty acid desaturation in GSCs orthotopically implanted in mice.
[Nature Communications] Using in vitro stem cell differentiation and loss of function experiments combined with high-throughput genome-wide bisulfite-, bulk-, and single cell RNA-sequencing, researchers dissected the specific role of DNMT3B in cell fate.
[Nature Communications] Using the FUCCI reporter, scientists developed a cell-cycle synchronized hPSC differentiation system for uncovering epigenome and transcriptome dynamics during the first two divisions leading to definitive endoderm.
[Science Advances] Investigators identified an uncharacterized long noncoding RNA NONMMUT028956 (Lnc956) predominantly expressed in mESCs. Lnc956 was accumulated on replication forks to prevent fork collapse and preserve genomic stability and was essential for mouse embryogenesis.
