Chemical Screening Identifies Danofloxacin as a Self-Renewal Agonist of Embryonic Stem Cells through Alleviation of HDAC1-Mediated Deacetylation of Tert and Prdm10. [PDF]
This study identified Danofloxacin as a novel supporter of the maintenance of mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC) pluripotency. It functions partially by inhibiting HDAC1, which increases specific histone acetylation marks and activates key genes like Tert and Prdm10.

CCL2 enhances pluripotency of human induced pluripotent stem cells by activating hypoxia related genes [PDF]
Standard culture of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) requires basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF) to maintain the pluripotent state, whereas hiPSC more closely resemble epiblast stem cells than true naïve state ES which requires LIF to ...

NuRD Suppresses Pluripotency Gene Expression to Promote Transcriptional Heterogeneity and Lineage Commitment [PDF]
Transcriptional heterogeneity within embryonic stem cell (ESC) populations has been suggested as a mechanism by which a seemingly homogeneous cell population can initiate differentiation into an array of different cell types.

Modeling epigenetic modifications in renal development and disease with organoids and genome editing
Understanding epigenetic mechanisms is crucial to our comprehension of gene regulation in development and disease. In the past decades, different studies have shown the role of epigenetic modifications and modifiers in renal disease, especially during ...

A novel Nodal enhancer dependent on pluripotency factors and Smad2/3 signaling conditions a regulatory switch during epiblast maturation [PDF]
During early development, modulations in the expression of Nodal, a TGFβ family member, determine the specification of embryonic and extra-embryonic cell identities.

Cardiomyocyte-like cells (CMs) derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) present a valuable model for human disease modeling, studying early human development and, potentially, developing cell therapeutic approaches. However, the specification of

Cardiogenic programming of human pluripotent stem cells by dose-controlled activation of EOMES
The T-box transcription factor eomesodermin (EOMES) acts both in endoderm specification as well as heart development, suggesting context-specific function.

Revised roles of ISL1 in a hES cell-based model of human heart chamber specification
The transcription factor ISL1 is thought to be key for conveying the multipotent and proliferative properties of cardiac precursor cells. Here, we investigate its function upon cardiac induction of human embryonic stem cells.

Cardiac Subtype-Specific Modeling of Kv1.5 Ion Channel Deficiency Using Human Pluripotent Stem Cells
The ultrarapid delayed rectifier K+ current (IKur), mediated by Kv1.5 channels, constitutes a key component of the atrial action potential. Functional mutations in the underlying KCNA5 gene have been shown to cause hereditary forms of atrial fibrillation
