hiPSC cell culture and differentiation hiPSCs were maintained on 1:40 matrigel (Corning, #354277) coated dishes in supplemented mTeSR-1 medium (StemCell Technologies, #85850) with 500 U ml−1 penicillin and 500 mg ml−1 streptomycin (Gibco, #15140122). For the differentiation of cortical neurons the protocol described previously21 was followed with slight modifications. Briefly, hiPSC colonies were seeded…

Ethics declaration Animal study was performed following the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. Animal experiment was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Colorado State University (protocol number 1090) in advance and conducted in compliance with the Association for the Assessment and Accreditation…

scEC&T sequencing A detailed, step-by-step protocol of scEC&T-seq is available on the Nature Protocol Exchange46 and is described below. The duration of the protocol is approximately 8 days per 96-well plate. Cell culture Human tumor cell lines were obtained from ATCC (CHP-212) or were provided by J. J. Molenaar (TR14; Princess…

Materials The materials used for cell cultures and characterization are listed in Additional file 1: Table S1. Cell sources After getting informed consent, PB was drawn from three healthy O, Rh D-positive donors. CB was collected from three healthy newborn babies at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Severance…

Ethics Human blood was obtained from healthy donors, approved by the Regional Ethics Committee and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust Tissue Bank (Regional Ethics Committee approval no. 17/WA/0161, Imperial College Healthcare Tissue Bank Human Tissue Authority license no. 12275, and Imperial College Research Ethics Committee no. 19IC5166). All samples were…

Introduction Gout is an inflammatory disease caused by the deposition of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in joints and other non-joint tissues. The main clinical manifestations of gout include recurrent joint redness, swelling, heat and pain, and even joint mutilation, urinary acid nephropathy and renal failure.1,2 The incidence and prevalence of…

Data reporting No statistical methods were used to predetermine sample size. The experiments were not randomized. The investigators were not blinded to allocation during experiments and outcome assessment. Study approval This study and all the relevant experiments were approved by Guangzhou Eighth People’s Hospital Ethics Committee (No. 202001134 and 202115202)….

Patient samples and ethics statement Peripheral blood samples from 10 OA patients and 7 healthy people were collected from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University. The characteristics of the subjects enrolled in the OA study are shown in Table 1. The diagnosis of patients with OA was based…

Background: Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is one of the most common autosomal recessive disorders in children after Duchenne muscular dystrophy affecting approximately 1 in 11,000 live births. There is no effective therapy for SMA; however, broadening our knowledge about the molecular genetics of the disease is resultant to develop potential…

Significance Cilia are tubulin-based cellular appendages, and their dysfunction has been linked to a variety of genetic diseases. Ciliary chondrodysplasia is one such condition that can co-occur with cystic kidney disease and other organ manifestations. We modeled skeletal ciliopathies by mutating two established disease genes in Xenopus tropicalis frogs. Bioinformatic…
