Intraspecific sequence variation and complete genomes refine the identification of rapidly evolved regions in humans Open
Summary Humans exhibit significant phenotypic differences from other great apes, yet pinpointing the underlying genetic changes has been limited by incomplete reference genomes and a reliance on single assemblies to represent a species. We…

Coupled myovascular expansion directs cardiac growth and regeneration Open
Heart regeneration requires multiple cell types to enable cardiomyocyte (CM) proliferation. How these cells interact to create growth niches is unclear. Here, we profile proliferation kinetics of cardiac endothelial cells (CECs) and CMs in…

Characterization of Functional Human Skeletal Myotubes and Neuromuscular Junction Derived—From the Same Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Source Open
In vitro generation of functional neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) utilizing the same induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) source for muscle and motoneurons would be of great value for disease modeling and tissue engineering. Although, diffe…

Clonal Analysis of the Neonatal Mouse Heart using Nearest Neighbor Modeling Open
By replacing lost or dysfunctional myocardium, tissue regeneration is a promising approach to treat heart failure. However, the challenge of detecting bona fide heart regeneration limits the validation of potential regenerative factors. On…

A Human‐Based Functional NMJ System for Personalized ALS Modeling and Drug Testing Open
Loss of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is an early and critical hallmark in all forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Herein, a functional NMJ disease model is developed by integrating motoneurons (MNs) differentiated from multip…
