Generation of skeletal muscle cells from pluripotent stem cells: advances and challenges

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2015
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) possess unlimited proliferative potential while maintaining the ability to differentiate into any cell type including skeletal muscle cells (SMCs). hPSCs are amenable to genetic editing and can be derived from patient

Single-cell Visualization of Chromosome Transcriptional Territories by RNA-paint

Bio-Protocol, 2016
We developed a FISH-based method to directly assess chromosome-wide transcriptional activity, thereby enabling the visualization of the actively transcribed fraction of a chromosome at the single-cell level.

Fitness Determinants of Influenza A Viruses

Viruses, 2023
Influenza A (IAV) is a major human respiratory pathogen that causes illness, hospitalizations, and mortality annually worldwide. IAV is also a zoonotic pathogen with a multitude of hosts, allowing for interspecies transmission, reassortment events, and ...

A primate-specific retroviral enhancer wires the XACT lncRNA into the core pluripotency network in humans

Nature Communications, 2019
XACT is a primate-specific TE-derived lncRNA that coats active X chromosomes in pluripotent cells and may contribute to species-specific regulation of X chromosome inactivation.

Imaging the response to DNA damage in heterochromatin domains reveals core principles of heterochromatin maintenance

Nature Communications, 2021
The heterochromatin compartment is key for genome stability and cell fate transitions. Here, by tracking the heterochromatin response to UV damage in real time, the authors reveal how heterochromatin features are preserved following a genotoxic stress ...

LABOR EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN COFFEE PRODUCTION IN SOUTHERN LAO PEOPLE’S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC

Journal of Asian Rural Studies, 2018
General debate on the issue of labor employment is related to employment opportunity, pattern of labor employment, the contribution to labor employment, and the impact of labor employment on livelihoods. This paper examines labor employment opportunities

A chemical approach facilitates CRISPRa-only human iPSC generation and minimizes the number of targeted loci required

Future Science OA
Aim: We explored the generation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) solely through the transcriptional activation of endogenous genes by CRISPR activation (CRISPRa). Methods: Minimal number of human-specific guide RNAs targeting a limited set

iPSC-derived trimodal T cells engineered with CAR, TCR, and hnCD16 modalities can overcome antigen escape in heterogeneous tumors

Cell Reports Medicine
Summary: Although chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have demonstrated therapeutic activity in hematopoietic malignancies, tumor heterogeneity has impeded the efficacy of CAR T cells and their extension into successful solid tumor treatment.

Capturing Transitional Pluripotency through Proline Metabolism

Cells, 2022
In this paper, we summarize the current knowledge of the role of proline metabolism in the control of the identity of Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs). An imbalance in proline metabolism shifts mouse ESCs toward a stable naïve-to-primed intermediate state of ...
