Two human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines were generated from fibroblasts of two siblings with methylmalonic acidemia cblB type carrying mutations in the MMAB gene: c.287T➔C (p.Ile96Thr) and a splicing loss-of-function variant c.584G➔A affecting the last nucleotide of exon 7 in MMAB (p.Ser174Cysfs*23). Reprogramming factors OCT3/4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC were delivered using a non-integrative method based on the Sendai virus. Once established, iPSCs have shown full pluripotency, differentiation capacity and genetic stability.

Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology is revolutionizing cell biology. However, the variability between individual iPSC lines and the lack of efficient technology to comprehensively characterize iPSC-derived cell types hinder its adoption in routine preclinical screening settings. To facilitate the validation of iPSC-derived cell culture composition, we have implemented an imaging assay based on cell painting and convolutional neural networks to recognize cell types in dense and mixed cultures with high fidelity.

A Neuron-Like Cellular Model for Severe Tinnitus Associated with Rare Variations in the ANK2 Gene.

Tinnitus is the perception of sound without an external source, often associated with changes in the auditory pathway and different brain regions. Recent research revealed an overload of missense variants in the ANK2 gene in individuals with severe tinnitus. ANK2, encoding ankyrin-B, regulates axon branching and inhibits microtubule invasion.

Introduction: Tau protein plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and in regulating neuronal excitability. Among tau-coding microtubule associated protein tau () gene mutations, the A152T mutation is reported to increase the risk of AD and neuronal excitability in mouse models.

Methods: To investigate the effects of gene expression and its mutations on neuronal activity in human neurons, we employed genome editing technology to introduce the A152T or P301S mutations into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).

Protocol for live imaging of axonal transport in iPSC-derived iNeurons.

STAR Protoc

January 2025

Department of Neurology, University Medical Center Goettingen, 37077 Goettingen, Germany. Electronic address:

Studies of human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons promise important insights into neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we present a protocol for live imaging of axonal transport in glutamatergic iPSC-derived neurons (iNeurons). We describe steps for the differentiation of iPSCs into iNeurons via PiggyBac-mediated neurogenin 2 (NGN2) delivery, iNeuron culture and transfection, and the acquisition and analysis of time-lapse images.

Article Synopsis
  • FT596 is a novel cancer therapy using iPSC-derived CAR NK cells targeting CD19, designed to assess its safe dosage and effectiveness alone and with rituximab in patients with B-cell lymphoma.
  • This phase 1 trial involved patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma, administering FT596 after chemotherapy, with separate regimens for those receiving rituximab and those who did not.
  • The study measured potential side effects while determining the optimal dose of FT596 and allowed modifications to the treatment based on patient tolerance and response.
