Ay et al. investigated the cellular mechanisms behind the role of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) in FGF23 production. They revealed that LPA cooperates with 1,25‐dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D), that is, the bioactive form of vitamin D known to stimulate FGF23 synthesis. This synergy entails MAPK signaling and the induction of the gene encoding the interleukin‐

Tunable Synthetic Hydrogel Modulates Hepatic Lineage Specification of Human Liver Organoid
In this study, a synthetic hydrogel is reported that supports the formation of hiPSC‐derived human liver organoids (HLOs). Hepatic lineage specification can be modulated via conjugation of RGD peptide to hydrogel: RGD‐conjugated hydrogels promote cholangiocyte differentiation, whereas RGD‐free hydrogels favor hepatocyte commitment of HLO cells.

Borate‐Ion‐Stimulated Macrophages Promote Osteogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells
The immune responses of mouse macrophages stimulated by borate ions promote the osteogenic differentiation and mineralization of mouse bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells in an ion‐dose‐dependent manner by providing cytokines, including BMP‐2.
