This study shows that human fibroblasts can be converted into neurons via NGN2 overexpression after partial reprogramming for 3 days, identifying intermediate cell states that influence conversion efficiency.

The paper develops a 3D in vitro model of graft-host skeletal muscle interaction using decellularized skeletal muscle constructs and neuromuscular organoids, showing functional neuromuscular junction formation and regeneration.

This paper develops a 3D model of human CNS development from naive hiPSCs, showing their ability to form neuroepithelial cysts and model FXS with epigenetic changes.

The paper investigates how iPSC-derived neural progeny affect connexin 47 dynamics during demyelination and remyelination, showing their role in panglial network reconstruction.

This study shows that adult HSCs contribute to all blood lineages in steady state but decline in contribution with age due to reduced differentiation capacity.
