Laminin switches terminal differentiation fate of human trophoblast stem cells under chemically defined culture conditions.

Victoria Karakis, Mahe Jabeen, John W. Britt, Abigail Cordiner, Adam Mischler, Feng Li, Adriana San‐Miguel, Balaji M. Rao

This paper establishes a chemically defined culture system for differentiating human trophoblast stem cells into extravillous trophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast lineages, showing that laminin-1 switches differentiation fate.

Specific activation of HIV-1 from monocytic reservoir cells by bromodomain inhibitor in humanized mice in vivo

Guangming Li, Zheng Zhang, Natalia Reszka-Blanco, Feng Li, Liqun Chi, Jianping Ma, Jerry Jeffrey, Liang Cheng, Lishan Su

This study shows that the bromodomain inhibitor I-BET151 activates HIV-1 transcription in monocytic cells but not CD4+ T cells under cART in humanized mice.
