The generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from healthy individuals is an invaluable resource as reference control in disease modeling and drug discovery. This paper details the reprogramming of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from a healthy 27 years-old male using non-integration technology. The derived iPSCs displayed typical pluripotent stem cell morphology, the capacity to differentiate into the three germ layers, and normal karyotype. This iPSC line will be used as a reference control to study the Cerebral Cavernous Malformation disease mechanism.

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.
