Increases in BCL2L1 and ID1 dosage synergistically drive fate bias and competitive advantage in human pluripotent stem cells

Yingnan Lei, Nuša Krivec, Arkajyoti Sarkar…·Claudia Spits

This study shows that increased BCL2L1 and ID1 gene dosage in human pluripotent stem cells drives competitive advantage and fate bias toward non-neural ectodermal and extraembryonic fates during differentiation.

Loss of 18q alters TGFβ signalling affecting anteroposterior neuroectodermal fate in human embryonic stem cells

Yingnan Lei, Mai Chi Duong, Nuša Krivec…·Claudia Spits

This study shows that loss of chromosome 18q in hESCs impairs differentiation into retinal progenitor cells by disrupting TGFβ signaling and anteroposterior neuroectodermal fate commitment.

De novo cancer mutations frequently associate with recurrent chromosomal abnormalities during long-term human pluripotent stem cell culture

Diana Al Delbany, Manjusha S. Ghosh, Nuša Krivec…·Claudia Spits

This study tracks genetic changes in human pluripotent stem cells over time, finding that recurrent chromosomal gains drive the accumulation of other mutations.
