Pluripotency Factors Are Repurposed to Shape the Epigenomic Landscape of Neural Crest Cells
[Developmental Cell] By assessing avian and human neural crest cells at distinct developmental stages, scientists characterized the epigenomic changes that occured during their specification, migration, and early differentiation.

Acoustically Accelerated Neural Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells
[Acta Biomaterialia] To accelerate the neuron production from hESCs, an acoustic stimulator producing surface acoustic waves was proposed and realized by clamping a flexible printed circuit board directly onto a piezoelectric substrate.

In Vivo Generation of Bone Marrow from Embryonic Stem Cells in Interspecies Chimeras
[eLife] Based on FACS analysis and single-cell RNA sequencing, mESCs differentiated into multiple hematopoietic and stromal cell types that were indistinguishable from normal mouse bone marrow cells.

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

Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Specific Role of YAP in Maintenance of Self-Renewal and Survival
[Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences] Investigators demonstrated that yes-associated protein functioned in an hESC-specific manner to maintain self-renewal and survival in hESCs. hESCs were highly sensitive to YAP downregulation to promote cell survival.

Generation and Validation of an iPSC Line (BBANTWi008-a) from a Loeys-Dietz Syndrome Type 3 Patient
[Stem Cell Research] Researchers generated an iPSC line of a severely affected Loeys-Dietz Syndrome patient carrying a pathogenic SMAD3 p.Arg287Gln variant. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were reprogrammed using non-integrating Sendai viral vectors.

CHIKV mRNA Vaccines Encoding Conserved Structural/Envelope Proteins Confer Broad Cross-Lineage Protection against Infection
[Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy] Scientists designed chikungunya virus (CHIKV) mRNA vaccines containing full-length structural proteins or part of structural proteins based on conserved sequences from 769 viral strains encompassing four lineages.
T Cell-Derived IFN-γ Suppresses T Follicular Helper Cell Differentiation and Antibody Responses
[EMBO Journal] Researchers showed that T-bet+ cells induced by lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection encompassed a TH1 cell subset expressing granzyme B and a Tcf-1+ cell subset that retained the potential for T follicular helper (TFH) differentiation without expressing mature TFH markers.
Distinct Type 1 Immune Networks Underlie the Severity of Restrictive Lung Disease after COVID-19
[Nature Immunology] Scientists analyzed hundreds of cellular and molecular features in the context of discrete pulmonary phenotypes to define the systemic immune landscape of post-COVID lung disease.
