Investigation of defined extracellular matrix proteins in differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells to cardiomyocytes reveals fibronectin, in addition to soluble factors, is required for cardiogenesis.

Repressing astroglial PTBP1 by shRNA or antisense oligonucleotide fails to convert astrocyte to neuron including dopaminergic neuron in a 6-OHDA mouse model of PD.

New findings cast doubt on whether suppressing the RNA-binding protein PTBP1 can force astrocytes to become dopaminergic neurons.

Telomere dysfunction in iPSC-derived type II alveolar epithelial cells causes senescence and gene expression changes including Wnt-related changes that GSK3 inhibition can rescue, providing insight into pulmonary fibrosis pathogenesis.

4,6-Sulfation of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans prevents sympathetic nerve regeneration into the infarct after myocardial ischemia/reperfusion, and reducing this sulfation promotes nerve regeneration and decreases arrhythmia susceptibility.

Promoter studies identified BMP/Smad signaling as a transcriptional regulator of Ppif gene encoding cyclophilin D, a component of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore, and gain- and loss-of-function experiments determined how such regulation affects osteogenic differentiation.

Temporally regulated RNA-binding proteins orchestrate RNA splicing to drive myogenesis.

Although many Apical Ectodermal Ridge signaling components are found in the axolotl limb epidermis, responsiveness to canonical Wnt signaling has shifted to the limb mesenchyme where it regulates mesenchymal Fgf8 expression.

Normal adipogenesis requires de novo DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) for proper differentiation and suppression of an age-associated pathogenic inflammatory program.

A neural precursor cell defect precedes widespread inflammation, amyloid plaque pathology, and cognitive deficit in Alzheimer's disease, which can be reversed by inhibiting USP16.
