Data Figures

Figure 1. Normal hES and hiPS Cell Morphology is Observed in cGMP ³¾°Õ±ð³§¸éâ„¢1 Cultures

Undifferentiated (A) H1 human embryonic stem (hES) and (B) WLS-1C human induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cells cultured on Corning® Matrigel® Matrix in cGMP ³¾°Õ±ð³§¸éâ„¢1 retain the prominent nucleoli and high nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio characteristic of this cell type after 10 passages. Densely packed cells and multi-layering are prominent when cells are ready to be passaged.

Figure 2. High Expansion Rates are Observed in cGMP ³¾°Õ±ð³§¸éâ„¢1 Cultures

Graph shows the average fold expansion per passage +/- SEM obtained for hES (H1 and H9) and hiPS (WLS-1C) cells cultured in cGMP mTeSR­™1 (red) or non-cGMP ³¾°Õ±ð³§¸éâ„¢1 (gray) on Corning® Matrigel® Matrix over 10 passages. Expansion was determined by enumerating the cell aggregates obtained at harvest and dividing by the number of cell aggregates seeded. Note that this data is representative of cultures passaged after 6-7 days in culture, lower expansion should be expected if using shorter culture times.

Exceptional Longevity Modifying Allele APOE2 Promotes DNA Signaling Pathways Resisting Cellular Senescence in Human Neurons C. Gerónimoâ€Olvera et al. Aging Cell 2026 May

Abstract

Genomeâ€wide association studies (GWAS) have identified APOE2 allele as linked to exceptional longevity, with carriers exhibiting a reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Apolipoprotein E (APOE), a glycoprotein involved in lipid transport, has three major alleles. However, alterations in lipid metabolism alone do not fully explain APOE2's protective effects. In contrast, APOE4 is the strongest genetic risk factor for AD. To investigate how APOE2 promotes neuronal longevity and confers neuroprotection, we generated human isogenic APOE iPSCâ€derived models of both inhibitory GABAergic and excitatory neurons. In GABAergic neurons, APOE alleles differentially influenced endogenous DNA damage, DNA repair, and neuronal motility. Singleâ€cell RNA sequencing revealed APOE4â€specific gene expression signatures associated with AD, whereas APOE2 GABAergic neurons were enriched for DNA repair and signaling pathways. Consistent with this, APOE2 neurons exhibited significantly lower levels of DNA damage. APOE4 GABAergic neurons exhibit increased expression of repetitive ribosomal RNA, which is associated with DNA damage and cellular senescence. To determine whether the effects extended to excitatory neurons, we used a separate human model of Ngn2â€induced glutamatergic neurons, and found that APOE2 excitatory neurons were more resistant to cellular senescence and DNA damage than isogenic APOE3 and APOE4 neurons. Similarly, we found human APOE2â€targeted replacement mice exhibited less nucleolar enlargement and increased nuclear Lamin A/C, Hmgb1, and H3K9me3 compared to APOE4 counterparts. Together, our findings identify DNA repair and suppression of senescenceâ€associated processes as key mechanisms by which APOE2 is associated with neuronal resilience, providing mechanistic insight into its association with exceptional longevity and protection against AD. Neurons expressing APOE2 were more resistant to endogenous DNA damage, activated transcriptional signaling pathways associated with DNA repair, and were resilient to stressâ€induced DNA damage and cellular senescence. In contrast, APOE4 neurons exhibited elevated expression of rRNA repetitive elements and were prone to becoming senescent.
Derivation of Embryonic Stem Cells from an Endangered Cattle Breed via Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer S. Gu et al. Cells 2026 Mar

Abstract

Embryonic stem cells represent a valuable germplasm resource with significant implications for breed conservation, development, and utilization. However, the scarcity of genetic resources in endangered species poses a fundamental constraint on obtaining gametes for embryonic stem cell derivation. Therefore, generating embryonic stem cells from somatic cell nuclear transfer blastocysts offers an optimal alternative for conservation cloning. In this study, we established ApèiJiaza somatic cell nuclear transfer ESCs (APNT-ESCs) from cloned embryos, using ApèiJiaza cattle ear fibroblasts as nuclear donors. APNT-ESCs could be passaged for over 30 generations in vitro, exhibiting high expression of key pluripotency markers, genomic stability, and the ability to form embryoid bodies and differentiate into cell types of all three germ layers. This research established an effective biotechnological framework for the genetic conservation of other endangered species lacking accessible gametes.
Calcium Shock Enables Efficient and Programmable Particle Delivery for Genome Editing Applications N. Vo et al. Advanced Science 2026 Mar

Abstract

Classical intracellular delivery methods such as transfection and transduction are inefficient, particularly with confluent cells and organoids, and lack cell typeâ€specific programmability. We demonstrate that an innovative methodology called calcium shock (CaSh) dramatically improves particle delivery into single cells, colonies, and organoids, and enables programmable delivery (CaShâ€Pro) into specific cell types within heterocellular populations. Calcium shock works by increasing endocytotic uptake while simultaneously disarming cellâ€cell junctions. CaShâ€Pro further incorporates specific molecular targeting agents and amphiphilic peptides for preferential editing of different cell types. Calcium shock improves expression of plasmid, ribonucleoprotein, or adenoâ€associated viral vectors with minimal toxicity in intact organoids representing diverse lineages. CaSh and CaShâ€Pro provide simple, versatile protocols for genome editing in complex systems, to enable biological discovery and therapeutic development. Classical transfection and transduction are inefficient, particularly with confluent cells and organoids, and lack cell typeâ€specific programmability. This study presents calcium shock (CaSh), a method that dramatically improves particle delivery into single cells, colonies, and organoids. CaSh is further utilized to enable programmable delivery (CaShâ€Pro) into specific cell types within heterocellular populations.
