Exploring the dynamics and influencing factors of CD4 T cell activation using single-cell RNA-seq
Summary: T cell activation is a key event in adaptive immunity. However, the dynamics and influencing factors of T cell activation remain unclear. Here, we analyzed CD4 T cells that were stimulated with anti-CD3/CD28 under several conditions to explore ...

Tetraspanin CD53 Promotes Lymphocyte Recirculation by Stabilizing L-Selectin Surface Expression
Summary: Tetraspanins regulate key processes in immune cells; however, the function of the leukocyte-restricted tetraspanin CD53 is unknown. Here we show that CD53 is essential for lymphocyte recirculation.

CircMAPK9 promotes adipogenesis through modulating hsa-miR-1322/FTO axis in obesity
Summary: Circular RNA (circRNA) is a special category of non-coding RNA that has garnered increasing attention in the exploration of lipid metabolism. However, the functional regulation mechanisms of circRNAs in obesity diseases remain unclear.

AMPKα2 is a skeletal muscle stem cell intrinsic regulator of myonuclear accretion
Summary: Due to the post-mitotic nature of skeletal muscle fibers, adult muscle maintenance relies on dedicated muscle stem cells (MuSCs). In most physiological contexts, MuSCs support myofiber homeostasis by contributing to myonuclear accretion, which ...

Functional specialization of gut CD103 + dendritic cells in the regulation of tissue-selective T cell homing [PDF]
Gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) dendritic cells (DCs) display a unique ability to generate CCR9+α4β7+ gut-tropic CD8+ effector T cells. We demonstrate efficient induction of CCR9 and α4β7 on CD8+ T cells in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) after oral but not intraperitoneal (i.p.) antigen administration indicating differential targeting of DCs via ...

Multiple Functions of Malpighian Tubules in Insects: A Review
The Malpighian Tubules (MTs) are the main excretory organs in most insects. They play a key role in the production of primary urine and osmoregulation, selectively reabsorbing water, ions, and solutes.

Bmal1 deletion alters mitochondrial microstructure and function in mouse cone photoreceptors
Summary: The mammalian retina contains an autonomous circadian system that regulates ocular physiology. The deletion of the core clock gene Bmal1 in the mouse retina disrupts retinal circuitry, alters cone spectral identity, and reduces cone viability ...

ABSTRACT The pediatric hematology‐oncology fellowship training curriculum has not substantially changed since its inception. The first year of training is clinically focused, and the second and third years are devoted to scholarship. However, this current structure leaves many fellows less competitive in the current job market, resulting in ...
