Characterization of Vps13b-mutant mice reveals neuroanatomical and behavioral phenotypes with females less affected
The vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 13B (VPS13B) is a large and highly conserved protein. Disruption of VPS13B causes the autosomal recessive Cohen syndrome, a rare disorder characterized by microcephaly and…

Spatial Transcriptomic Analysis of Focal and Normal Areas of Myocyte Disarray in Human Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common inherited disorder that can lead to heart failure and sudden cardiac death, characterized at the histological level by focal areas of myocyte disarray, hypertrophy…

Spatial transcriptomics analysis of esophageal squamous precancerous lesions and their progression to esophageal cancer
Esophageal squamous precancerous lesions (ESPL) are the precursors of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) including low-grade and high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia. Due to the absence of molecular indicators, which ESPL will…

Gestational exposure to FireMaster® 550 (FM 550) disrupts the placenta-brain axis in a socially monogamous rodent species, the prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster)
Gestational flame retardant (FR) exposure has been linked to heightened risk of neurodevelopmental disorders, but the mechanisms remain largely unknown. Historically, toxicologists have relied on traditional, inbred rodent models, yet…

Spatially Resolved Transcriptomes of CD30+-transformed Mycosis Fungoides and Cutaneous Anaplastic Large-cell Lymphoma
Mycosis fungoides with large-cell transformation (MF-LCT) occurs in a minor proportion of aggressive lesions, which express CD30 similar to primary cutaneous anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (cALCL). We investigated differences in spatially…

HIF-1 regulates pathogenic cytotoxic T cells in lupus skin disease
Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is a disfiguring autoimmune skin disease characterized by an inflammatory infiltrate rich in T cells, which are strongly implicated in tissue damage. How these cells adapt…

Regulation of antigen-specific T cell infiltration and spatial architecture in multiple myeloma and premalignancy
Entry of antigen-specific T cells into human tumors is critical for immunotherapy, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we combined high-dimensional spatial analyses with in vitro and in…

Integration of single-cell regulon atlas and multi-omics data for prognostic stratification and personalized treatment prediction in human lung adenocarcinoma
Transcriptional programs are often dysregulated in cancers. A comprehensive investigation of potential regulons is critical to the understanding of tumorigeneses. We first constructed the regulatory networks from single-cell RNA sequencing…

Cancer-associated fibroblast-like tumor cells remodel the Ewing sarcoma tumor microenvironment
Purpose: Despite limited genetic and histologic heterogeneity, Ewing sarcoma (EwS) tumor cells are transcriptionally heterogeneous and display varying degrees of mesenchymal lineage specification in vitro. In this study, we investigated…

A spatially resolved timeline of the human maternal-fetal interface
Beginning in the first trimester, fetally derived extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) invade the uterus and remodel its spiral arteries, transforming them into large, dilated blood vessels. Several mechanisms have been proposed…

Diverse clonal fates emerge upon drug treatment of homogeneous cancer cells
Even among genetically identical cancer cells, resistance to therapy frequently emerges from a small subset of those cells1-7. Molecular differences in rare individual cells in the initial population enable certain…

Lenvatinib recruits cytotoxic GZMK+CD8 T cells in hepatocellular carcinoma
Background: Lenvatinib was expected to enhance the effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for unresectable HCC; however, their combination therapy failed to show the synergy in the phase III clinical…
