[Development] Scientists reported a method for better maintaining XX female mESCs in culture, which also stabilized the male karyotype, and made study of female specific pluripotency more feasible.

[Theriogenology] Metabolomics and transcriptomics analyses were used to investigate the effects of low-density feeder cells on bovine ESCs.

[International Journal of Radiation Biology] To study the competitive proliferation and differentiation of hESCs, researchers obtained cells of H9 hESC line that stably expressed green fluorescent protein.

[Functional & Integrative Genomics] The author describes the whole molecular process of UHRF1–DNMT1 pathway and lists some latest biological research progress related to this pathway in the development of early embryonic, maintenance of pluripotency of embryonic stem cells, regulation of expression of imprinted genes, inactivation of X chromosome, and development of cancer.

[Connecticut Public] Wesleyan University received $1.7 million in early-stage funding from the National Institutes of Health to find an answer to an urgent question: “What’s the first thing that goes wrong, that snowballs into the pathology that we see later in Alzheimer’s disease?”.

[Molecular Metabolism] Publicly available single cell RNA sequencing datasets on mouse and human heart cells were analyzed for Glp1r/GLP1R expression. Fluorescent activated cell sorting was used to localize Glp1r expression in cell populations from the mouse heart.
