Androgens increase excitement in brain organoid research
Cell Stem Cell

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

PPARdelta activation induces metabolic and contractile maturation of human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes
Cell Stem Cell

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

A small-molecule cocktail promotes mammalian cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart regeneration
Cell Stem Cell

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

Decoding the temporal and regional specification of microglia in the developing human brain
Cell Stem Cell

Our study comprehensively reveals the spatiotemporal dynamics of regional specification and state transition in the microglia of the developing human brain. By comparing microglia from mice and humans, we assess the conservation of state transitions

Stem cell-derived β cells go in monkeys
Cell Stem Cell

Du et al. transplanted β cells derived from pluripotent stem cells in diabetic monkeys for the first time, as an intermediate stage toward clinical translation. They observed benefits unfolding over months but also observed immune rejection of the

Capybara: A computational tool to measure cell identity and fate transitions
Cell Stem Cell

Kong et al. present Capybara, a computational pipeline to classify discrete cell identity and intermediate “hybrid” cell states. They apply Capybara to identify hybrid states in cardiac reprogramming, off-target neural identities in motor neuron

Progress in multicellular human cardiac organoids for clinical applications
Cell Stem Cell

Recent advances and current challenges in multicellular cardiac organoids and tools for assessing cardiac organoids for clinical application are discussed.

c-Maf: The magic wand that turns on LSEC fate
Cell Stem Cell

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,

Successful organoid-mediated generation of iPSC-derived CAR-T cells
Cell Stem Cell

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

Lamin B1 deletion in myeloid neoplasms causes nuclear anomaly and altered hematopoietic stem cell function
Cell Stem Cell

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

MDS/AML with del5q: An acquired “laminopathy”?
Cell Stem Cell

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

Human pluripotent stem cell-derived myogenic progenitors undergo maturation to quiescent satellite cells upon engraftment
Cell Stem Cell

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

Specification of fetal liver endothelial progenitors to functional zonated adult sinusoids requires c-Maf induction
Cell Stem Cell

Blood vessels adapt to the requirements of each organ. In the liver, this adaptation is a progressive specialized transition from fetal to postnatal development, which is facilitated by the transcription factor c-Maf. In vitro c-Maf induces a liver-
