A new manuscript titled “African pygmy mouse iPSCs as a model for in vitro embryogenesis, interspecies chimerism, and blastocyst complementation” has been published in Cell Reports Methods. This work expands the repertoire of mammalian iPSC models and establishes the African pygmy mouse as a powerful system for investigating pluripotency, interspecies chimerism, and regenerative strategies. Congratulation to all authors!
A warm welcome to our new lab members Sandy Hossmann as a Transgenic Specialist, Natasa Savic as Genome Engineering Expert, and Arion Förtsch as our new Bioinformatician. We wish you all a very successful start!
The objective of this grant is to reduce animal numbers in transgenesis, thereby advancing a more ethical animal research. Congrats to Pjeter, Ajda and Monika for their efforts on this project!
