A Japanese research group has said that it became the world's first to succeed in producing regulatory T cells, which suppress excessive immune responses, from human induced pluripotent stem, or iPS, cells.
The heart function of crab-eating macaques that had experienced heart attacks returned after transplants of clusters of heart muscle cells made from human induced pluripotent stem, or iPS, cells, a Japanese research team said Friday.
As our bodies age, our cells are aging with us, and the messages they produce are decreasing. While growth factors have been used to take the message of youthful cells and use them to stimulate the skin, exosomes offer a more complete, natural, and protected version of those messages. Scientific researcher Dr. Jordan Plews, CEO and co-founder of ELEVAI Labs, joins Dr. Bass to discuss what's happening in the space of exosomes, stem cells, and regenerative medicine as a whole. Through experiments with stem cells, Dr. Plews and his colleagues discovered that the cells provided some benefit, but they weren't sticking around or fixing problems such as wounds. This led to the discovery of exosomes, nano-packages that the body uses to send signals to cells. When searching for the best exosomes to separate, Dr. Plews and his team found that by taking exosomes from age zero stem cells, they can safely be put back into the body to “remind it how to be young again.” Drawing on his two decades of research in the study of stem cells and regenerative medicine, Dr. Plews explains what exosomes are, how they were discovered, the potential they hold, and how we may be using them in medicine going forward. About Dr. Jordan Plews Dr. Jordan Plews is the co-founder and CEO of ELEVAI Labs, Inc. He has dedicated nearly 20 years to the study of stem cells and regenerative medicine. Following many years investigating the use of various types of stem cells on injury and degenerative diseases, he has gone on to build and lead teams, setting up stem cell culture labs and developing stem cell-based regenerative medicine solutions before pivoting into aesthetics.

Abstract: Cortical excitatory neurons (Cx neurons) are the most dominant neuronal cell type in the cerebral cortex and play a central role in cognition, perception, intellectual behavior, and emotional processing. Robust in vitro induction of Cx neurons may facilitate as a tool for the elucidation of brain development and the pathomechanism of the intractable neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimers disease, and thus potentially contribute to drug development. Here, we report a defined method for the efficient induction of Cx neurons from the feeder-free-conditioned human embryonic stem cells (ES cells) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells). Using this method, human ES/iPS cells could be differentiated into ~99% MAP2-positive neurons by three weeks, and these induced neurons displayed several characteristics of mature excitatory neurons within 5 weeks, such as strong expression of glutamatergic neuron-specific markers (subunits of AMPA and NDMA receptors and CAMKII), highly synchronized spontaneous firing and excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC). In addition, the Cx neurons showed susceptibility to A{beta} oligomer toxicity and excessive glutamate excitotoxicity, which is another advantage for toxicity testing and searching for therapeutic agent discovery. Taken together, this study provides a novel research platform for studying neural development and degeneration based on the feeder-free human ES/iPS cell system.

Last month, roughly 5,000 liver community stakeholders gathered in London for the 2022 International Liver Congress (#ILC2022.) On Thursday afternoon, Scott Friedman chaired an abstract session discussing advances in the basic science of researching and understanding mechanisms surrounding fibrosis and stellate cells. Later, he described it as "one of the most exciting groups of presentations I've seen in many years." This conversation centers on papers with similar methods and processes for researching stellate cells.Scott begins this conversation by describing this process, which is based on another Nobel Prize-winning methodology. In this technique, the researchers start by forcing an adult mature skin cell (or any cell, for that matter) o express a cluster of very well-defined genes and transcription factors, which the researcher then turns into a generalized, Induced Pluripotent Stem (IPS) cell. Researchers have found ways to convert these IPS cells into stellate cells. The developer of this technique posited that it will enable us to explore the proteome. To Scott, this process of converting a generalized cell to a stellate cell we can analyze via proteomics to find new targets is more important and noteworthy than the result of this specific study (researchers identified a novel nuclear receptor called RORalpha). To quote Scott, "they're much closer to the action when they find a protein rather than just the mRNA that encodes it." He goes on to discuss a second study from Insitro (a company with which he consults) about their work seeking to optimize the IPS-derived stellate cells to find the one that most closely resembles cells in vivo. When Scott finishes, Neil notes that single-cell proteomics is not "coming, but it's not there yet." Neil anticipates we will have this pivotal tool available in a 1-2 year time horizon. Next, Jörn anticipates and asks about the next stage in the process: identifying a protein related to this process we can find in peripheral blood given that, as Neil noted, tissue sampling in the clinical setting will not be possible. Scott discusses a recent paper that seems to provide a solution to this issue in breast cancer. While he notes that the work has to be validated first, it clearly suggests researchers are close to finding proteins we can identify in blood in at least one cancer-related case. From there, Scott turns to Rachel for feedback, since this is the area in which her business is building its research. Her answer has several elements to it, but the main point is that proteomic development lags behind some of the other techniques but is making rapid advances as the costs of some key analytical processes come down. She then goes on to provide a description of epigenetics, the area in which she works most intensively.
