Intracellular crowding links dimensionality to cell fate through a mechano-metabolic signalling axis

Marieke Meteling, Bas van Loo, Ceri‐Anne E. Suurmond…·Jeroen Leijten

This study shows that cell culture dimensionality affects intracellular crowding, which influences cell fate through a mechano-metabolic signaling pathway, improving chondrogenic differentiation in microtissue cultures.

Covalent on-cell conjugation of biomaterials through oxidative phenolic coupling regulates stem cell fate via intracellular biophysical programming

Castro Johnbosco, Malin Becker, Niels G. A. Willemen…·Jeroen Leijten

This study uses covalent on-cell oxidative phenolic coupling to tether hydrogels to stem cells, showing it regulates cell fate through biophysical changes without relying on YAP/TAZ signaling.

Mapping SOX9 transcriptional dynamics during multi-lineage differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells

Kannan Govindaraj, Sakshi Khurana, Marcel Karperien, Janine N. Post

The paper investigates SOX9 transcriptional dynamics in human mesenchymal stem cells during differentiation into chondrogenic, osteogenic, and adipogenic lineages, revealing subpopulations and donor-specific differences.
