Vascularized Organoids Emerge from a Heart-Foregut-like Intermediate Recapitulating Early Human Development

This study shows that heart/foregut-like structures form from human pluripotent stem cells, developing into vascularized cardiac organoids with multiple cell types.

Human Organoids Reveal PTEN-driven Mesendoderm Specification via Retinoic Acid Signaling Suppression

This study uses human organoids to show that PTEN suppresses retinoic acid signaling to drive mesendoderm specification.

Lipid Metabolism Remodeling in Human Cardiomyocyte Differentiation and Maturation

This study maps dynamic lipid changes during human cardiomyocyte differentiation using lipidomics and transcriptomics, identifying key lipid species and their roles in cardiac development.

Unveiling the mechanisms of black phosphorus nanosheets-induced viable but non-culturable state in Bacillus tropicus

This study investigates how black phosphorus nanosheets induce a viable but non-culturable state in Bacillus tropicus, revealing suppressed metabolism and respiratory pathways as key mechanisms.
