Article Abstract
Myoglobin (MB) is a cytoplasmic hemoprotein that is predominantly expressed in the heart and oxidative myofibers of skeletal muscle. It has been demonstrated that MB binds to oxygen and promotes its diffusion for energy production in the mitochondria. Recently, MB was found to be expressed in different forms of malignant tumors and cancer cell lines. Further studies using gene disruption technology will enhance the understanding of MB's role in human cardiovascular biology and cancers. Here, we describe the generation of a homozygous MB knockout in human embryonic stem cells (hESC-MB) via CRISPR/Cas9 to study MB function in human biology and diseases.

Cancer-associated muscle wasting is associated with poor clinical outcomes, but its underlying biology is largely uncharted in humans. Unbiased analysis of the RNAome (coding and non-coding RNAs) with unsupervised clustering using integrative non-negative matrix factorization provides a means of identifying distinct molecular subtypes and was applied here to muscle of patients with colorectal or pancreatic cancer. Rectus abdominis biopsies from 84 patients were profiled using high-throughput next-generation sequencing.

A complex assortment of neuronal cells contributes to distinct functional circuits in the human brain. Such diversity is imposed upon pluripotent stem cells by a patterning process that begins much before the start of neurogenesis. Neural tube patterning relies on morphogens-diffusible signals that regulate transcription factor networks in progenitor cells, guiding spatial and temporal identity formation.

Cortical interneuron deficiencies, particularly involving the somatostatin (SST) subtypes, contribute to neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. These interneurons are difficult to derive in vitro from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) due to their late embryonic development and dependence on glial interaction. To this end, we developed a three-dimensional co-culture model of hESC-derived neurons, enabling long-term development, functional maturity, and neuron-glial interaction.
