Bladder cancer exhibits marked cellular heterogeneity, which complicates the identification of molecular drivers with both functional and genetic relevance. The link between genetic susceptibility and transcriptional activity in tumorigenesis remains incompletely understood. Single-cell transcriptomes of …
Read PDF<b>Background</b>: Gastric signet-ring cell carcinoma (GSRCC) is an aggressive gastric cancer subtype with abundant mucin production and high metastatic propensity. However, scarcity of specific biomarkers has impeded clinical diagnosis and mechanistic research. This study systematically …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is a heterotopic ossification process of the posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL) that can compress the spinal cord and nerve roots, yet its cellular heterogeneity and pathogenesis remain unclear.<h4>Methods</h4>We …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Sarcopenia, characterized by age-related skeletal muscle loss and dysfunction, affects approximately 10% of adults over 60 years worldwide. Current diagnostic methods often detect sarcopenia only after substantial muscle deterioration has occurred, highlighting the critical need …
Read PDFMitophagy clears damaged mitochondria and maintains normal macrophage function. Clarifying the associations between idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), macrophages, and mitophagy is crucial for early diagnosis and clinical management. Core macrophage subsets were identified as M2 …
Read PDFInsomnia is closely associated with immune dysregulation, yet the overall pattern of peripheral-central immune disequilibrium and its underlying molecular basis remains incompletely understood. To characterize the peripheral-central immune features associated with insomnia, identify key immune …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) develops from physiologic B cells through low- and high-count monoclonal B cell lymphocytosis (LC-/HC-MBL). The timing and nature of early B cell expansion and molecular evolution remain unclear, limiting prediction of …
Read PDFChikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a re-emerging arbovirus causing acute febrile illness and chronic debilitating arthritis, thereby imposing significant global public health and economic burdens. While robust immune responses involving inflammatory cytokines and immune cell infiltration …
Read PDFEggshell quality is a major concern in the poultry industry. The speckle phenotype in eggshell affects eggshell color, thickness, and Haugh Unit (HU) and significantly affects the hatchability rate. The rate of speckled eggs increases …
Read PDFSenescence is a critical risk factor for the development of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), yet its specific impact on the disease remains inadequately understood. This study aims to elucidate the role of pivotal genes in …
Read PDFNeuropsychiatric Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (NPSLE) represents one of the most severe and enigmatic manifestations of SLE, contributing significantly to disease morbidity and mortality. Its clinical presentation is profoundly heterogeneous, encompassing 19 distinct syndromes that pose …
Read PDFBACKGROUND: Adenomyosis (AM) is a common gynecological disorder in reproductive-age women, with impaired endometrial receptivity as a key contributor to infertility. However, a comprehensive single-cell atlas of the eutopic endometrium during the implantation window remains …
Read PDFUnderstanding how genetic risk variants contribute to respiratory diseases requires mapping genome-wide association study (GWAS) signals to disease-relevant cell types and states within the human lung. Here, we integrated GWAS summary statistics for ten major …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Multiple myeloma (MM) typically evolves from monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). Its progression is accompanied by significant tumor heterogeneity and immune microenvironment remodeling, and MM remains largely incurable despite …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Patients undergoing lung cancer surgery experience significant systemic inflammatory responses and anesthetic interventions during the perioperative period, which can affect immune status and the tumor microenvironment. Different anesthetic techniques variably regulate inflammation, cytokine signaling, and …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Immune cells critically influence pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (PitNET) progression and therapeutic responses. However, their composition and functional dynamics remain unclear. This study aimed to delineate the immune heterogeneity and intercellular communication networks within PitNETs.<h4>Methods</h4>This study …
Read PDFSingle-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) in multi-condition experiments enables the systematic assessment of treatment effects. Analyzing scRNA-seq data relies on linear dimensionality reduction (DR) methods like principal component analysis (PCA). These methods decompose high-dimensional gene expression …
Read PDFCardiac fibroblasts (CFs) are key mediators of heart repair following myocardial infarction (MI). A specific CF subpopulation, termed Reparative Cardiac Fibroblasts (RCFs), has been shown to orchestrate scar formation and prevent ventricular rupture after MI. …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Electrophysiological features of glioblastoma cells (GBCs) remain largely elusive, challenging our comprehension of glioblastoma pathophysiology. Spiking GABAergic-oligodendrocyte-progenitor (OPC) tumor cells were recently described in IDH-mutant glioma, correlating with prolonged patient survival. Here, we characterize single-cell …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Osteosarcoma (OS) is a malignant primary bone tumor developing from primitive mesenchymal cells. Glycosylation is important in the adhesion, metastasis and transformation of cancer cells. Nevertheless, the investigation of glycosylation-related genes (GRGs) in OS has …
