Towards consistent generation of pancreatic lineage progenitors from human pluripotent stem cells. [PDF]
Human pluripotent stem cells can in principle be used as a source of any differentiated cell type for disease modelling, drug screening, toxicology testing or cell replacement therapy.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) poses significant challenges for regeneration due to a series of secondary injury mechanisms. How to use biomaterial approach to target the failed regeneration after SCI remains a critical challenge. This review systematically evaluates current strategies to optimize biomaterial topographies for neurite outgrowth, axonal ...

Locally induced neural stem cells/pluripotent stem cells for in vivo cell replacement therapy [PDF]
: Neural stem cells hold the key to innovative new treatments for age-associated degeneration and traumatic injury to the brain and spinal cord. We hypothesized that the in vivo induced pluripotent stem cells or neural stem cells through 'forced gene ...

Modeling human trophoblast, the placental epithelium at the maternal fetal interface. [PDF]
Appropriate human trophoblast lineage specification and differentiation is crucial for the establishment of normal placentation and maintenance of pregnancy. However, due to the lack of proper modeling systems, the molecular mechanisms of these processes

Liquid Crystalline Networks Hamper the Malignancy of Cancer Cells
Liquid Crystalline Networks are used as scaffolds for the growth of A375 melanoma cells demonstrating to affect their malignancy. Indeed, only by contact, these materials reduces cell proliferation and colony formation capacity, while increasing the number of senescent cells and promoting the mesenchymal to epithelial transition.

Smart Polymeric 3D Microscaffolds Hosting Spheroids for Neuronal Research via Quantum Metrology
Development of a platform consisting of 3D microscaffolds supporting 3D embryoid bodies for neuronal research. The polymeric scaffolds enable directed growth of neurites. This study shows nanodiamond‐based quantum sensors graft onto the polymer material, enabling quantum metrology experiments within the 3D neuronal model and thereby providing a ...

Parallel derivation of isogenic human primed and naive induced pluripotent stem cells
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have considerably impacted human developmental biology and regenerative medicine, notably because they circumvent the use of cells of embryonic origin and offer the potential to generate patient-specific pluripotent

Thermoresponsive BrushGel Microcarriers for Efficient Cell Expansion and Enzyme‐Reduced Harvesting
Askari et al, report on temperature‐responsive microcarriers to minimize enzyme use and cost in dynamic cultures. Abstract Scaling up cell therapy requires efficient expansion of high‐quality cells. Microcarrier(MC)‐based systems offer high surface‐to‐volume ratios and reduce culture media usage.

Multiple feedback loops through cytokinin signaling control stem cell number within the Arabidopsis shoot meristem [PDF]
A central unanswered question in stem cell biology, both in plants and in animals, is how the spatial organization of stem cell niches are maintained as cells move through them.
