Understanding the cellular behavioral mechanisms underlying memory formation and maintenance in human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) culture provides key strategies for achieving stability and robustness of cell differentiation. Here, we show that changes in cell behavior-driven epigenetic memory of hiPSC cultures alter their pluripotent state and subsequent differentiation. Interestingly, pluripotency-associated genes were activated during the entire cell growth phases along with increased active modifications and decreased repressive modifications. This memory effect can last several days in the long-term stationary phase and was sustained in the aspect of cell behavioral changes after subculture. Further, changes in growth-related cell behavior were found to induce nucleoskeletal reorganization and active versus repressive modifications, thereby enabling hiPSCs to change their differentiation potential. Overall, we discuss the cell behavior-driven epigenetic memory induced by the culture environment, and the effect of previous memory on cell lineage specification in the process of hiPSC differentiation.

Article Synopsis
- Animals continuously monitor their surroundings for potential dangers while also recalling past experiences to predict new threats.
- Research shows that animals can develop a lasting avoidance of areas where they encountered a specific visual threat, demonstrating this behavior can persist for several days.
- A particular type of retinal cell, melanopsin-expressing intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, plays a key role in this long-term threat avoidance, operating through a unique brain circuit separate from traditional visual threat detection pathways.
Antidepressant-like Effects of L. Extract in an Lipopolysaccharide Model: Modulation of Mast Cell Activation in Deep Cervical Lymph Nodes and Dura Mater.

Background: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced neuroinflammation is a well-established model for studying depression-like behavior, driven by pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-1β. Mast cells (MCs) contribute to neuroinflammation by releasing mediators that exacerbate depressive-like symptoms. This study evaluates the antidepressant-like and anti-inflammatory effects of L.

Chronic stress is associated with anxiety and cognitive impairment. Repeated social defeat (RSD) in mice induces anxiety-like behavior driven by microglia and the recruitment of inflammatory monocytes to the brain. Nonetheless, it is unclear how microglia communicate with other cells to modulate the physiological and behavioral responses to stress.

Anchoring goals to spatial representations enables flexible navigation but is challenging in novel environments when both representations must be acquired simultaneously. We propose a framework for how Drosophila uses internal representations of head direction (HD) to build goal representations upon selective thermal reinforcement. We show that flies use stochastically generated fixations and directed saccades to express heading preferences in an operant visual learning paradigm and that HD neurons are required to modify these preferences based on reinforcement.

Background: The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is an important region in motivation and reward. Glutamatergic inputs from the infralimbic cortex (ILC) to the shell region of the NAc (NAcSh) have been implicated in driving the motivation to seek reward through repeated action-based behavior. While this has primarily been studied in males, observed sex differences in motivational circuitry and behavior suggest that females may be more sensitive to rewarding stimuli.
