ABSTRACT While significant advances have been made in maintaining stem cell pluripotency, the successful establishment of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) from various animal species in vitro remains challenging. This highlights the need for further optimization of culture conditions. Through compound library screening, we...

Two-cell-like cells (2CLCs), a rare totipotent-like population within mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) cultures, serve as a valuable model for studying early embryonic events like zygotic genome activation. However, the molecular mechanisms restraining their spontaneous emergence remain elusive. Here, we identify Msl...

Vascular organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) have emerged as powerful three-dimensional models for studying vascular development, disease mechanisms, and drug responses. Current vascular organoid protocols enable the generation of self-organizing endothelial-pericyte networks; however, batch-to-...
