Motif-driven interactions between RNA and PRC2 are rheostats that regulate transcription elongation
Although polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) is now recognized as an RNA-binding complex, the full range of binding motifs and why PRC2–RNA...

Cartilage Repair by Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes: Preclinical and Clinical Trial Update and Perspectives
Osteoarthritis (OA) and other degenerative joint diseases are characterized by articular cartilage destruction, synovial inflammation, sclerosis of... -
Replication dynamics identifies the folding principles of the inactive X chromosome
Chromosome-wide late replication is an enigmatic hallmark of the inactive X chromosome (**). How it is established and what it represents remains...

Biomechanical Characterization of Human Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes by Use of Atomic Force Microscopy
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is not only a high-resolution imaging technique but also a sensitive tool able to study biomechanical properties of... -
A 3D model of a human epiblast reveals BMP4-driven symmetry breaking
Breaking the anterior–posterior symmetry in mammals occurs at gastrulation. Much of the signalling network underlying this process has been...

Nanoparticles as Anti-inflammatory and Pro-regenerative Therapeutic Molecules
The saying ‘size matters’ is the basis of the revolutionary technology that has taken this decade by storm. Nano-sized particles, on account of their... -
Discovering monotonic stemness marker genes from time-series stem cell microarray data
BackgroundIdentification of genes with ascending or descending monotonic expression patterns over time or stages of stem cells is an important issue...

Formation of Embryoid Bodies from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells Using AggreWell™ Plates
Many human embryonic stem (hES) and induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cell differentiation protocols begin with the formation of three-dimensional... -
Wnt signaling controls the specification of definitive and primitive hematopoiesis from human pluripotent stem cells
Efforts to derive hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are complicated by the fact that embryonic hematopoiesis...

Techniques in Embryoid Body Formation from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells
Embryoid bodies (EBs) can be generated by culturing human pluripotent stem cells in ultra-low attachment culture vessels, under conditions that are... -
A novel perfused rotary bioreactor for cardiomyogenesis of embryonic stem cells
Developments in bioprocessing technology play an important role for overcoming challenges in cardiac tissue engineering. To this end, our laboratory...
