Overview

Generate clonal human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) lines that maintain their genomic integrity and downstream differentiation potential with this supplement. By using °ä±ô´Ç²Ô±ð¸éâ„¢2, you can increase the cloning efficiency and survival of human embryonic stem (ES) and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells under high-stress conditions, including seeding at low or high densities.

For your gene-editing workflows, add °ä±ô´Ç²Ô±ð¸éâ„¢2 to improve ES and iPS cell survival following electroporation and during clonal deposition (see data below). It also facilitates the survival and expansion of clonal lines generated by low-density seeding (<25 cells/cm2) or by FACS-sorting cells at 1 cell/well, without requiring single-cell adaptation. You can also use °ä±ô´Ç²Ô±ð¸éâ„¢2 supplement to increase survival of single cells plated at higher densities, including under stressful conditions such as the post-thaw recovery of ES and iPS cell lines and when creating monolayers ahead of downstream differentiation.

Defined and serum-free, °ä±ô´Ç²Ô±ð¸éâ„¢2 supplement is compatible for use with °Õ±ð³§¸éâ„¢ ES and iPS cell maintenance media, as well as your choice of cell culture matrix.

°ä±ô´Ç²Ô±ð¸éâ„¢2 can also be used as a survival supplement in gene-editing workflows that require electroporation. Four cell lines were electroporated, then plated in m°Õ±ð³§¸éâ„¢1 and m°Õ±ð³§¸éâ„¢ Plus containing Y-27632, CloneRâ„¢, or °ä±ô´Ç²Ô±ð¸éâ„¢2. Cultures were maintained in complete °Õ±ð³§¸éâ„¢ media (without cloning supplement) after 24 hours and analyzed after 5 days. In all 4 cell lines, (panels A-D) °ä±ô´Ç²Ô±ð¸éâ„¢2 dramatically improved cell survival and expansion when used as a supplement in the first 24 hours immediately following electroporation compared to both Y-27632 and CloneRâ„¢ (n = 2 replicates per cell line).

Figure 7. °ä±ô´Ç²Ô±ð¸éâ„¢2 Improves Post-Thaw Recovery of hPSCs

Thawing cryopreserved cells can result in low expansion or loss of the culture within the first passage. Using °ä±ô´Ç²Ô±ð¸éâ„¢2 as a seeding supplement within the first 24 hours of thawing cells ameliorates this effect, improving post-thaw recovery of hPSCs. Three cell lines were frozen as single cells, then thawed into m°Õ±ð³§¸éâ„¢ Plus containing Y-27632 or °ä±ô´Ç²Ô±ð¸éâ„¢2 on Matrigel®. Cultures were maintained in complete m°Õ±ð³§¸éâ„¢ Plus (without cloning supplement) after 24 hours, and analyzed on day 4 or day 5. °ä±ô´Ç²Ô±ð¸éâ„¢2 improves the fold-expansion across all cell lines tested when compared to Y-27632, with at least 7 replicates (n) per cell line.

Chamber-specific chromatin architecture guides functional interpretation of disease-associated Cis-regulatory elements in human cardiomyocytes S. Haydar et al. Nature Communications 2026 Jan

Abstract

Cis-regulatory elements (CREs) are noncoding DNA regions regulating cell-type-specific gene expression programs by interacting with distal gene promoters. Here, we aim to decode the function and spatial organization of CRE-promoter interactions in human cardiomyocytes. We analyzed the epigenome and chromatin interactions of human male atrial, ventricular, and failing cardiomyocytes. Atrial and ventricular cardiomyocytes harbored chamber-specific CRE-promoter interactions modulating gene expression as confirmed by functional epigenetic silencing. These CRE-promoter interactions explain the distinct contribution of non-coding genetic variants to atrial and ventricular diseases, such as dilated cardiomyopathy and arrhythmias. We dissected the prototypic KCNJ2 locus, encoding a potassium channel associated with ventricular arrhythmia susceptibility. Functional epigenetic silencing confirmed that CREs, harboring QT-duration-associated genetic risk factors, modulate KCNJ2 gene expression levels, alter KCNJ2-dependent channel currents, and affect cardiomyocyte repolarization. The presented human CM-specific chromatin interaction analysis provides key insights into regulatory mechanisms and aids in interpreting genetic risk factors. Here the authors functionally test and resolve the spatial genome organization of cis-regulatory elements and genetic variants in atrial, ventricular, and failing human cardiomyocytes and linked them to heart disease traits, including QT syndrome.
Efficient multi-kilobase knock-ins in mice and cell lines using CRISPR/Cas9 and rAAV donors with unbiased whole-genome characterization by LOCK-seq M. F. Sentmanat et al. Nucleic Acids Research 2026 Apr

Abstract

Multi-kilobase knock-ins (KIs) are a necessary, yet challenging type of genome editing to create and characterize in cell lines and animals. The combination of rAAV donor transduction and electroporation of single-cell mouse embryos with Cas9/gRNA ribonucleoprotein complex enables highly efficient KI, but the insert size is limited by the viral packaging capacity. Here, we report the creation of up to 6.7 kb precise KI achieved in one step by using three rAAVs designed to insert one after the other. To fully characterize the edited genome with large KIs, we developed LOCK-seq (LOng-read sequencing of Captured Kilo-base targets), where relevant genomic regions are enriched via hybridization, achieving over 100-fold greater coverage compared with other long-read methods with enrichment. LOCK-seq simultaneously detects the presence of precise KI alleles, imprecision in the insert and donor concatenation, genotypes of non-KI alleles, and more importantly, uniquely identifies and localizes random integration of the full or partial donor(s). Additionally, the multi-rAAV donor approach is successfully applied to cell lines, including lines intolerant of plasmid DNA, whereas LOCK-seq reliably and efficiently screens for KI clones. Together, the two approaches significantly improve the creation and precision of knock-in models.
Implementing a trilineage differentiation in the ReproTracker assay for improved teratogenicity assessment J. M. Horcas-Nieto et al. Frontiers in Toxicology 2025 Sep

Abstract

IntroductionExposure to teratogenic compounds during pregnancy can lead to significant birth defects. Given the considerable variation in drug responses across species, along with the financial and ethical challenges associated with animal testing, the development of advanced human-based in vitro assays is imperative for effectively identifying potential human teratogens. Previously, we developed a human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs)-based biomarker assay, ReproTracker, that follows the differentiation of hiPSCs into hepatocytes and cardiomyocytes. The assay combines morphological profiling with the assessment of time-dependent expression patterns of cell-specific biomarkers to detect developmental toxicity responses.MethodsTo further increase the predictability of the assay in identifying potential teratogens, we added differentiation of hiPSCs towards neural rosette-like cells. We evaluated the performance of the extended assay with a set of 51 well-known in vivo teratogens and non-teratogens, including the compounds listed in the ICH S5 reference list.ResultsThe optimized assay correctly identified (neuro)developmental toxicants that were not detected in the hepatocyte and cardiomyocyte differentiation assays. These compounds selectively downregulated gene and protein expression of the neuroectodermal marker PAX6 and/or neural rosette marker NESTIN in a concentration-dependent manner and disrupted the differentiation of hiPSCs towards neural rosette-like cells. Overall, based on the current dataset, the addition of neural commitment improved the assay accuracy (from 72.55% to 86.27%) and sensitivity (from 67.50% to 87.50%), when compared to the previously described assay.DiscussionIn summary, trilineage differentiation expanded the spectrum of teratogenic agents detectable by ReproTracker, making the assay an invaluable tool for early in vitro teratogenicity screening.
