RYR1 variants are the most common genetic cause of congenital myopathies, and typically cause central core disease (CCD) and/or malignant hyperthermia (MH). Here, we generated iPSC lines from two patients with CCD and MH caused by dominant RYR1 variants within the central region of the protein (p.Val2168Met and p.Arg2508Cys). Both lines displayed typical iPSC morphology, uniform expression of pluripotency markers, trilineage differentiation potential, and had normal karyotypes. These are the first RYR1 iPSC lines from patients with both CCD and MH. As these are common CCD/MH variants, these lines should be useful to study these conditions and test therapeutics.

The majority of drugs are typically orally administered. The journey from drug discovery to approval is often long and expensive, involving multiple stages. A major challenge in the drug development process is drug-induced liver injury (DILI), a condition that affects the liver, the organ responsible for metabolizing most drugs.

Dominant optic atrophy (DOA) is the most commonly inherited optic neuropathy. The majority of DOA is caused by mutations in the gene, which encodes a dynamin-related GTPase located to the mitochondrion. OPA1 has been shown to regulate mitochondrial dynamics and promote fusion.

Copy number variations of the human gene, resulting from megabase-scale microdeletions or microduplications in the 3p26.3 region, are frequently implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders such as intellectual disability and developmental delay. However, duplication of the full-length human gene presents with variable penetrance, resulting in phenotypes that range from neurodevelopmental disorders to no visible pathologies, even within the same family.

Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) affect 4.7% of the global population and are associated with delays in brain development and a spectrum of impairments that can lead to lifelong disability and even mortality. Identification of biomarkers for accurate diagnosis and medications for effective treatment are lacking, in part due to the historical use of preclinical model systems that do not translate well to the clinic for neurological disorders, such as rodents and heterologous cell lines.

Intercellular transmission of messenger RNA (mRNA) is being explored in mammalian species using immortal cell lines. Here, we uncover an intercellular mRNA transfer phenomenon that allows for the adaptation and reprogramming of human primed pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). This process is induced by the direct cell contact-mediated coculture with mouse embryonic stem cells under the condition impermissible for primed hPSC culture.
