Evaluation of human platelet granules by structured illumination laser fluorescence microscopy
Many roles of human platelets in health and disease are linked to their ability to transport and secrete a variety of small molecules and proteins carried in dense (δ-) and α-granules.

GatorST: A Versatile Contrastive Meta‐Learning Framework for Spatial Transcriptomic Data Analysis
GatorST learns spatially informed embeddings for spatial transcriptomics by coupling two‐hop subgraph graph convolutions with cluster‐aware pseudo‐label supervision and episodic contrastive meta‐learning. The framework captures neighbor‐level topology and tissue‐wide expression semantics without heavy augmentations, delivering robust representations ...

GASZ is essential for male meiosis and suppression of retrotransposon expression in the male germline. [PDF]
Nuage are amorphous ultrastructural granules in the cytoplasm of male germ cells as divergent as Drosophila, Xenopus, and Homo sapiens. Most nuage are cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein structures implicated in diverse RNA metabolism including the regulation ...

ELLI-1, a novel germline protein, modulates RNAi activity and P-granule accumulation in Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
Germ cells contain non-membrane bound cytoplasmic organelles that help maintain germline integrity. In C. elegans they are called P granules; without them, the germline undergoes partial masculinization and aberrant differentiation.

Allergic Sensitization to Inhalant Allergens in the Upper Respiratory Tract—the B Cell Side
ABSTRACT Allergic diseases are on the rise worldwide, driven by respiratory epithelial barrier dysfunction that promotes sensitization to inhalant allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and fungal spores. These antigens trigger IgE‐mediated immune responses that lead to diseases such as allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma.

C. elegans germ cells show temperature and age-dependent expression of Cer1, a Gypsy/Ty3-related retrotransposon. [PDF]
Virus-like particles (VLPs) have not been observed in Caenorhabditis germ cells, although nematode genomes contain low numbers of retrotransposon and retroviral sequences.
