The Stem Cell Science Round Up

Chemical Reprogramming – Researchers developed a reproducible and efficient protocol to generate human chemically induced pluripotent stem cells.

Base Editing to Treat SCID – T cell generation was restored through adenine base editing in cell, organoid, and mouse models of CD3δ severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID).

Trophoplast Differentiation – Scientists generated a single-cell atlas of the entire maternal–fetal interface.

Single-Cell Transcriptomics of Human Embryos During Organogenesis – Researchers used single-cell and spatial transcriptomics to provide a global view of human embryonic cell-type specification.
