In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Reilly et al. propose loss of LMNB1, the gene encoding lamin B1, often deleted in MDS/AML, as a novel genetic basis for the abnormal nuclear shape of neutrophils (known as acquired Pelger-Huët anomaly) and a cause o

Despite the surrounding controversy, quantitative sex-based differences exist in the human brain. In a recent issue of Nature, Kelava et al. shed light on the mechanisms underlying increased brain volume and neuron density in males, while highlighti

Efficient maturation of in vitro-generated cells remains a challenge and the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here Wickramasinghe and colleagues show that PPAR signaling acts in an isoform-specific manner to enhance metabolic and electrop

Du et al. discover a chemical cocktail of five small molecules (5SM) promoting adult mammalian CM proliferation and heart regeneration after myocardial infarction. 5SM potentially targets α1 adrenergic receptor, JAK1, DYRKs, PTEN, and MCT1 and make

In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Gómez-Salinero et al. (2022) identify c-Maf as a driver for murine liver sinusoidal endothelial cell (LSEC) fate and function during liver development, homeostasis, and repair. Similarly, c-Maf defines human LSECs,

Artificial thymic organoids (ATOs) allow the selective differentiation of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-transduced human iPSCs into CAR-T cells. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Wang et al. now use ATOs to produce human CD19+ CAR-T cells that mimi

Abnormal nuclear morphology is a hallmark of cancerous cells. Here, Reilly et al. demonstrate that deletion of lamin B1, which is common in myeloid malignancies, causes acquired Pelger-Huët nuclear anomaly and links aberrant nuclear morphology with

Sun et al. discover that myogenic progenitors derived from hPSCs could engraft and mature to become local satellite cells in vivo after transplantation. These engrafted MPCs not only function as satellite cells in muscle regeneration but could also
