Passaging Protocol Comparison

Figure 1. Passaging Protocol Comparison

ReLeSR™ passaging protocol eliminates difficult and time-consuming steps, thereby enabling easy culture scale-up.
Surface area of 4 x 6 well plates (230 cm²) is comparable to that of a T225 flask (225 cm²).
TeSR™ = TeSR™ family media (mTeSR™1, TeSR™2, or TeSR™-E8™).

Selectively Detach Undifferentiated Cells

Figure 2. Selectively Detach Undifferentiated Cells

ReLeSR™ selectively detaches undifferentiated cells from pluripotent stem cell cultures without manual selection. Optimally-sized aggregates are generated following shaking/tapping of the cultureware.
(A) An hPSC culture ready for passaging. Note the presence of differentiated cells at the edge of the undifferentiated hPSC colony. (B) Following incubation with ReLeSR™, the undifferentiated hPSC colony starts to lift off of the cultureware. The differentiated cells remain attached to the cultureware. (C) Following shaking/tapping of the cultureware, the undifferentiated cells completely lift off of the cultureware. (D) The undifferentiated hPSC colony is broken up into optimally-sized aggregates for replating.

Rescue Highly Differentiated Cultures

Poor quality human pluripotent stem cell cultures containing large proportions of differentiated cells can be rescued by passaging with ReLeSR™. (A) A poor quality hPSC culture containing ~50% undifferentiated cells. (B) Following passaging with ReLeSR™, the differentiated cells have largely been eliminated from the culture, with >90% undifferentiated cells present at the end of the next passage.

Generation of Functional Patient-Specific Thymus Organoids From Human Pluripotent Stem Cells (hPSCs) Using Air–Liquid Interface Culture S. A. Ramos, H. A. Russ Bio-protocol 2026 May

Abstract

The thymus is critical for the establishment of a functional and self-tolerant adaptive immune system, but it involutes with age, resulting in reduced naive T-cell output. Generation of a functional human thymus from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) is an attractive regenerative medicine strategy. Direct differentiation of thymic epithelial progenitors (TEPs) from hPSCs has been demonstrated in vitro, but functional thymic epithelial cells (TECs) develop only after transplantation of TEPs in vivo. Functional human reaggregated thymic organoid cultures (RTOCs) and artificial thymic organoids (ATOs) cultured at the air–liquid interface support T-cell development in vitro and in vivo and permit the interrogation of human thymic function and T-cell development. However, these approaches require access to primary human tissues or murine bone marrow stromal cells, are allogeneic, and do not support negative selection. Recently, we reported the directed differentiation of induced PSCs (iPSCs) to functional thymic epithelial progenitors (TEPs) that support murine T-cell development after transplantation in nude mice. Here, we combined hPSC-derived TEPs, hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs), and mesenchymal cells, differentiated from the same hPSC line, and generated functional isogenic stem cell–derived thymic organoids (sTOs). Our revised protocol improves our TEP differentiation process and allows the generation of functional isogenic, patient-specific thymic organoids in vitro.
Patient induced pluripotent stem cells identify specificities of a reticular pseudodrusen phenotype in age-related macular degeneration J. C. Hall et al. Genome Medicine 2026 May

Abstract

Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss. Reticular pseudodrusen (RPD), deposits on the apical side of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), signify a distinctive and critical AMD phenotype. Yet, their molecular basis and relationship to the conventional drusen seen in AMD remain unclear. Methods: We generated induced pluripotent stem cell-derived RPE cells from a clinically phenotyped cohort comprising only individuals with conventional drusen (AMD/RPD-) or with drusen coexisting with RPD (AMD/RPD +). To identify differences between the two cohorts, we performed single-cell transcriptomic, proteomic, quantitative trait locus (QTL) and transcriptome-wide association (TWAS) analyses, together with functional assays. Results: AMD/RPD + RPE cells exhibited enrichment of extracellular matrix (ECM) and hypoxia-responsive pathways, and a relative underrepresentation of mitochondrial and oxidative phosphorylation processes, when compared with AMD/RPD- cells. Genetic analyses supported shared modulation of mitochondrial pathways across AMD, with additional regulatory signals associated with RPD risk. Functionally, all RPE cohorts formed drusen-like deposits in vitro. AMD/RPD- lines generated more basal deposits, whereas AMD/RPD + cells exhibited increased susceptibility to monolayer disruption. Conclusions: These findings indicate that AMD with and without RPD represent mechanistically distinct entities and provide novel insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying disease heterogeneity in AMD.
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.
