Atlas of multilineage stem cell differentiation reveals TMEM88 as a developmental regulator of blood pressure.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Pluripotent stem cells provide a scalable approach to analyse molecular regulation of cell differentiation across developmental lineages. Here, we engineer barcoded induced pluripotent stem cells to generate an atlas of multilineage differentiation from pluripotency, encompassing an eight-day time course with modulation of WNT, BMP, and VEGF signalling pathways. Annotation of in vitro cell types with reference to in vivo development reveals diverse mesendoderm lineage cell types including lateral plate and paraxial mesoderm, neural crest, and primitive gut. Interrogation of temporal and signalling-specific gene expression in this atlas, evaluated against cell type-specific gene expression in human complex trait data highlights the WNT-inhibitor gene TMEM88 as a regulator of mesendodermal lineages influencing cardiovascular and anthropometric traits. Genetic TMEM88 loss of function models show impaired differentiation of endodermal and mesodermal derivatives in vitro and dysregulated arterial blood pressure in vivo. Together, this study provides an atlas of multilineage stem cell differentiation and analysis pipelines to dissect genetic determinants of mammalian developmental physiology.
