This paper develops a 3D-printable, cytocompatible hydrogel from Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 extracellular matrix, demonstrating its versatility for biofabrication.

Mapping heterogeneity drivers in human PSC-derived limbal stem cell differentiation through single-cell multi-modal analysis

The paper uses single-cell multi-modal analysis to identify molecular drivers of limbal stem cell differentiation from human PSCs, revealing key transcription factors and enhancers involved in lineage specification.

Microglia from patients with multiple sclerosis display a cell-autonomous immune activation state

This study shows that microglia from MS patients have intrinsic activation features, identified through iPSC-derived microglia-like cells and transcriptomic analysis.

Biomimetic hydrogel platform reveals active force transduction from retinal pigment epithelium to photoreceptors

This study develops a biomimetic hydrogel platform to model RPE-retina interactions, revealing actin-dependent force transduction during photoreceptor phagocytosis.

Chromatin remodeler developmental pluripotency associated factor 4 (DPPA4) is a candidate gene for alcohol-induced developmental disorders

The paper investigates the effects of alcohol exposure on placental DNA methylation and identifies DPPA4 as a candidate gene for alcohol-induced developmental disorders.
