Leveraging Interacting Signaling Pathways to Robustly Improve the Quality and Yield of Human Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Hepatoblasts and Hepatocytes
[Stem Cell Reports] By leveraging recent knowledge of the signaling pathways involved in liver development, investigators described a robust, scalable protocol that allowed them to consistently generate high-quality bipotent human hepatoblasts and hepatocyte-like cells from both ESCs and iPSCs.

BACE2 Variant Identified from HSCR Patient Causes AD-Like Phenotypes in hPSC-Derived Brain Organoids
[Cell Death Discovery] Using the human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived brain organoids (BOs), investigators demonstrated that β-site APP-cleaving enzyme 2 (BACE2) was mainly expressed in the ventricular zone and cortical plate of BOs, and its expression level was gradually increased along with the BO maturation.
