📣 The next episode is out! Tune into our conversation with Dr. Lika Drakhlis at Hannover Medical School to learn all about how her lab uses hPSCs to develop complex, multi-tissue #organoids that model the co-development of the heart, vasculature, and foregut. 🎧 Listen now: bit.ly/47euMgv

This first-in-human trial led by Jose Moraleda and Luis Linares shows that bone-targeted mesenchymal stem cells can promote bone formation and reduce fractures in osteoporosis. 🦴 More on the study: bit.ly/4rlTipc 🎙️ Tune into the discussion: bit.ly/47euMgv

Scientists with Rayyan Jokhai and Dr. Kyle Loh at @Stanford utilized lineage tracing and stem cell models to reveal two distinct neural progenitors that separately give rise to the forebrain/midbrain and hindbrain. 🧠 🧪 go.nature.com/4xE7oUo 🎧 bit.ly/47euMgv

Self-organizing neural organoids recreate the coordinated development of the spinal cord and peripheral sensory nervous system, enabling studies of development, disease, and drug effects. 🧫 More on the study: bit.ly/3VMIpB2 🎧 Listen now: bit.ly/47euMgv

Dr. @Sergiu_P_Pasca's lab with @KaganovskyNeuro, @kevinwkelley, Tilo Gschwind & Paul Harary integrated human cortical #organoids into mice, forming functional neural circuits that enable studies of human neurodevelopment and disease. 🧠 go.nature.com/4yegEQt Tune in: bit.ly/47euMgv

🔔 Stay tuned for next week's episode featuring Dr. Lika Drakhlis at Hannover Medical School! The Drakhlis lab focuses on hPSC-derived heart-forming #organoids, which model heart, vasculature and foregut co-development. 💓 Check out their latest work: go.nature.com/4y98zfY

The Hippo–IGF2 signaling pathway was found to control organ growth and liver #regeneration, with IGF2 restoring impaired regenerative capacity in aged mice. 🐁 Read more: bit.ly/4iW1JW3 🎧 Tune into the discussion: bit.ly/4xGNSaO

Jian Li and investigators at @harvardmed found that loss of ALDH3B2 converts human pancreatic duct cells into #insulin-producing β-like cells capable of improving blood glucose in diabetic mice. 🩸 More on the study: bit.ly/4gOALNr 🎧 Listen now: bit.ly/4xGNSaO

Researchers with Dr. Lingling Hu at @WeillCornell identified tendon/ligament #StemCells and showed that their abnormal differentiation contributes to ligament thickening and lumbar spinal stenosis. 🦴 More on the study: bit.ly/4AalW0Q 🎧 Tune into the discussion: bit.ly/4xGNSaO

🎧 The next episode is live! Dr. Yonatan Stelzer at @WeizmannScience discusses how his lab combines developmental biology, epigenetics, and single-cell technologies to understand how cells acquire distinct identities during #embryonic development. 🧬 Listen now! bit.ly/4xGNSaO

🤩 Hope you're excited for our next guest, Dr. Yonatan Stelzer at @WeizmannScience! The Stelzer Lab investigates how cell fate and identity are established during #embryonic development using single-cell and epigenomic approaches. 🧫 Check out his latest work: bit.ly/3UsGAsB

Kate Cavanaugh (@cavankatenaugh) and scientists at @OWeinerLab @UCSF found that reproductive aging increases #embryo contractility and alters tissue mechanics, reducing successful embryo implantation.🫄 Here's the study: go.nature.com/4gmQ01l 🎧 Listen now! bit.ly/4wV6VNv

Researchers discovered that generating tetraploid iPSCs produces #cardiomyocytes with more mature molecular, metabolic, and functional properties than conventional iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes. 💓 🧫 Check out the study: go.nature.com/4hSuYc4 🎙️ Listen now! bit.ly/4wV6VNv
