Embryonic stem (ES) cells differentiate efficiently in vitro and give rise to many different somatic cell types. Hematopoietic progenitors present within differentiated ES cells (embryoid bodies, EBs) can be identified by replating EB cells into semisolid media with hematopoietic growth factors. The developmental kinetics of various hematopoietic lineage precursors within EBs and molecular and cellular studies of these cells have suggested that the sequence of events leading to the onset of hematopoiesis within EBs is similar to that found within the mouse embryo. Thus, the in vitro differentiation model of ES cells provides a unique opportunity to study onset mechanisms involved in hematopoietic development.

Hemorrhage, a common consequence of diseases, surgical procedures, and traffic accidents, poses a significant threat to public health. Effective hemostasis is crucial for patient survival and prognosis, particular in case of internal bleeding. While polysaccharide microsphere-based hemostatic materials have gained clinical acceptance due to their effectiveness, good biocompatibility, and versatility in both intravascular and extravascular hemostasis, they are limited by their single function and insufficient hemostatic properties.

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and their extracellular vesicles (EVs) hold significant potential for tissue repair and regeneration. Neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult brain often acquire senescent phenotypes after ischemic injuries, releasing neurodegenerative senescence-associated secretory phenotype factors. In this study, we investigated the senotherapeutic effects of hESC-EVs on NSCs and confirmed their neuroprotective effects in neurons via rejuvenation of NSC secretions.

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) induce p53-dependent apoptosis in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). To interrogate this phenomenon, a synthetic ITR (SynITR), harboring substitutions in putative p53 binding sites was generated and evaluated for vector production and gene delivery. Replication of SynITR flanked transgenic genome was similar compared to wild type (wt) ITR, with a modest increase in vector titers.

We have previously shown that neural crest cells share significant gene regulatory architecture with pluripotent blastula stem cells. Here we examine the roles that Krüppel-like Family (Klf) transcription factors play in these stem cell populations.
