p53 inhibits CRISPR–Cas9 engineering in human pluripotent stem cells

TL;DR: The results indicate that Cas9 toxicity creates an obstacle to the high-throughput use of CRISPR/Cas9 for genome engineering and screening in hPSCs, and as h PSCs can acquire P53 mutations14, cell replacement therapies using CRISpr/cas9-enginereed hPSCS should proceed with caution, and such engineered hPSPs should be monitored for P53 function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diverse repertoire of human adipocyte subtypes develops from transcriptionally distinct mesenchymal progenitor cells.

TL;DR: The finding of a broad adipocyte repertoire derived from a distinct set of mesenchymal progenitors, and of the transcriptional regulators that can control their development, provides a framework for understanding human adipose tissue function and role in metabolic disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene expression analysis in pregnant women and their infants identifies unique fetal biomarkers that circulate in maternal blood

TL;DR: It is concluded that fetal and placental mRNA circulates in the blood of pregnant women and placedental genes are more easily detected in plasma.
