Directed differentiation of human embryonic stem cells into parathyroid cells and establishment of parathyroid organoids.
Article in Cell proliferation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) into human embryonic stem cells-derived parathyroid-like cells (hESC-PT) has clinical significance in providing new therapies for congenital and acquired parathyroid insufficiency conditions. However, a highly reproducible, well-documented method for parathyroid differentiation remains unavailable. By imitating the natural process of parathyroid embryonic development, we proposed a new hypothesis about the in vitro differentiation of parathyroid-like cells. Transcriptome, differentiation marker protein detection and parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion assays were performed after the completion of differentiation. To optimize the differentiation protocol and further improve the differentiation rate, we designed glial cells missing transcription factor 2 (GCM2) overexpression lentivirus transfection assays and constructed hESCs-derived parathyroid organoids. The new protocol enabled hESCs to differentiate into hESC-PT. HESC-PT cells expressed PTH, GCM2 and CaSR proteins, low extracellular calcium culture could stimulate hESC-PT cells to secrete PTH. hESC-PT cells overexpressing GCM2 protein secreted PTH earlier than their counterpart hESC-PT cells. Compared with the two-dimensional cell culture environment, hESCs-derived parathyroid organoids secreted more PTH. Both GCM2 lentiviral transfection and three-dimensional cultures could make hESC-PT cells functionally close to human parathyroid cells. Our study demonstrated that hESCs could differentiate into hESC-PT in vitro, which paves the road for applying the technology to treat hypoparathyroidism and introduces new approaches in the field of regenerative medicine.
