Skin punch biopsy was donated by a healthy 51-year-old Caucasian male and the dermal fibroblasts were reprogrammed into human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines by using non-integrative Sendai viruses expressing OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC. Three iPSC lines (NUIGi046-A, NUIGi046-B, NUIGi046-C) highly expressed the pluripotent markers and were capable of differentiating into cells of endodermal, mesodermal, and ectodermal origin. These iPSCs can be offered as controls and in combination with genome-editing and three-dimensional (3D) system. They may be used for human disease modelling and drug screening.

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) provide a powerful platform for generating hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) and investigating hematopoietic development. Here, we present a protocol for maintaining hPSCs and inducing their differentiation into HPCs through the endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT) on vitronectin-coated plates. We outline steps for evaluating the efficiency of HPC generation and assessing their potential to differentiate into various hematopoietic lineages.

- 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.

Tris (1, 3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCPP) is an extensively used organophosphorus flame retardant (OFR). Previous studies have suggested that it has neurotoxic effects, but the neurotoxicity mechanism is still unclear. Neural stem cells are an important in vitro model for studying the neurotoxicity mechanism of pollutants.

Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived natural killer (NK) cells offer an opportunity for a standardized, off-the-shelf treatment with the potential to treat a wider population of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients than the current standard of care. FT538 iPSC-NKs express a high-affinity, noncleavable CD16 to maximize antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity, a CD38 knockout to improve metabolic fitness, and an IL-15/IL-15 receptor fusion preventing the need for cytokine administration, the main source of adverse effects in NK cell-based therapies. Here, we sought to evaluate the potential of FT538 iPSC-NKs as a therapy for AML through their effect on AML cell lines and primary AML cells.

Transgene expression in stem cells is a powerful means of regulating cellular properties and differentiation into various cell types. However, existing vectors for transgene expression in stem cells suffer from limitations such as the need for genomic integration, the transient nature of gene expression, and the inability to temporally regulate transgene expression, which hinder biomedical and clinical applications. Here we report a new class of RNA virus-based vectors for scalable and integration-free transgene expression in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs).
