Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPS) technology may be advantageous for the study of genetic aberrations in terms of recapitulating the full manifestation of pathological features in vitro, identifying underlying pathways, and developing personalized therapeutics rather than procuring somatic cells from patients. Here, we derived an iPSC line from a patient with reciprocal chromosome translocation, t(1;5)(p31.1;35.1), as a novel alternative model to identify clinical phenotypes induced by genetic instability. The resulting iPSC line generated from somatic cells with an existing instability showed representative characteristics of PSCs, and might serve as an unparalleled cellular resource for the development of a custom remedy.

Reliable models of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), wherein brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) play a key role in maintenance of barrier function, are essential tools for developing therapeutics and disease modeling. Recent studies explored generating BMEC-like cells from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) by mimicking brain-microenvironment signals or genetic reprogramming. However, due to the lack of comprehensive transcriptional studies, the exact cellular identity of most of these cells remains poorly defined.

Stem cells are unique, undifferentiated cells that have the ability to both replicate themselves and develop into specialized cell types. This dual capability makes them valuable in the development of regenerative medicine. Current development in stem cell research has widened their application in cell therapy, drug discovery, reproductive cloning in animals, and cell models for various diseases.

The adult human spinal cord harbors diverse populations of neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) essential for neuroregeneration and central nervous system repair. While induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived NSPCs offer significant therapeutic potential, understanding their molecular and functional alignment with bona fide spinal cord NSPCs is crucial for developing autologous cell therapies that enhance spinal cord regeneration and minimize immune rejection. In this study, we present the first direct transcriptomic and functional comparison of syngeneic adult human NSPC populations, including bona fide spinal cord NSPCs and iPSC-derived NSPCs regionalized to the spinal cord (iPSC-SC) and forebrain (iPSC-Br).
