The continued success of pluripotent stem cell research is ultimately dependent on access to reliable and defined reagents for the consistent culture and cryopreservation of undifferentiated, pluripotent cells. The development of defined and feeder-independent culture media has provided a platform for greater reproducibility and standardization in this field. Here we provide detailed protocols for the use of mTeSR™1 and TeSR™2 with various cell culture matrices as well as defined cryopreservation protocols for human embryonic and human induced pluripotent stem cells.

All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) signaling is essential in numerous different biological contexts. This review highlights the diverse roles of ATRA during development, function, and diseases of the pancreas. ATRA is essential to specify pancreatic progenitors from gut tube endoderm, endocrine and exocrine differentiation, and adult islet function.

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.

Aims: Alexander disease (AxD) is a leukodystrophy caused by mutations in the astrocytic filament gene GFAP. There are currently no effective treatments for AxD. Previous studies have rarely established AxD models with the patient's original GFAP mutations.

Previously, we demonstrated that patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) harboring MASLD DNA risk variants exhibit greater oleate-induced intracellular lipid accumulation than those without these variants. This study aimed to develop an iPSC-based MASLD risk predictor using functional lipid accumulation assessments.
