Five years ago, The Stem Cell Report set out with a simple goal: to bring the science, the people, and the stories behind stem cell research into one conversation. Since then, the field has advanced at an extraordinary pace—transforming our understan... more

Our guests today created new lab models to study Merkel cells using mouse whisker tissue cultures, mouse skin organoids, and human skin organoids. These models allowed them to study Merkel cells as they develop, validate the role of known signaling p... more

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are transforming the study of biology and disease by enabling scientists to grow large amounts of specific cell types in the lab that were once difficult to obtain. Our guests today focus on improving the derivati... more

Epigenetic regulation of gene expression is an important mechanism in development and disease. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is one of the most prevalent epigenetic modifications for RNA and has been shown to play critical roles in processes such as embry... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stem Cell-ebration: 5 Years of Breakthrough Science and Insightful Conversations
Q: Martin, as you step away from editorial leadership, what would you like to see in future Stem Cell Reports podcast episodes and journal coverage?
A balance between deep-dive discussions on specific papers and broader conversations about policy, data science, organoids, and AI-driven data mining, with a continued emphasis on unproven stem cell therapies to guard against over-optimism, and a cadence that highlights the latest journal publications alongside thoughtful expert commentary.
Stem Cell-ebration: 5 Years of Breakthrough Science and Insightful Conversations
Q: Larry, given your long-standing advocacy for fetal tissue research, how has NIH policy change impacted the field and what is your response to those shifts?
Policy shifts have caused a yo-yo effect, with restrictions tied to political cycles. Despite NIH funding fluctuations, fetal tissue remains crucial for understanding human development and validating stem cell-derived therapies; a comprehensive Stem Cell Reports review and advocacy by the Goldstein fellows helps illustrate the ongoing importance and applications.
Illuminating hPSC-derived Sensory Neurons
Q: What advice would you give your younger self?
Joriene would advise her younger self to spend more time reading literature to inspire better experimental design and build confidence.
Illuminating hPSC-derived Sensory Neurons
Q: What are the real roadblocks you see to clinical translation going forward?
Joriene expresses skepticism about using in vitro-derived neurons directly for treatment due to the challenges in achieving meaningful functional restoration, favoring their use as model systems to explore sensory neuropathy mechanisms instead.
Illuminating hPSC-derived Sensory Neurons
Q: How does that trajectory shape the kind of questions that your lab asks today?
Joriene explains how her early training in developmental biology informs her current research questions focused on the intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms that allow sensory neurons to assume different phenotypes and functions.
