This week’s journal club discusses a landmark first-in-human study published in Cell (2024) investigating autologous transplantation of chemically induced pluripotent stem cell-derived islets (CiPSC-islets) for type 1 diabetes (T1D).
by Fatemeh Rahmatabadi Venetoclax resistance in acute lymphoblastic leukemia is characterized by increased mitochondrial activity and can be overcome by co-targeting oxidative phosphorylation. Enzenmüller et al. explore why B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) cells sometimes resist the BCL-2 inhibitor…
by Lucas Unger Yang et al. demonstrate that HHEX is a lineage-restricting transcription factor essential for pancreas specification from foregut progenitors. Through CRISPR-Cas9 loss-of-function screening combined with hiPSC differentiation and single-cell multiomics, the study reveals that deletion of HHEX diverts…
