Circulating Immune Cells are Associated with Non-Inflammatory Pain in Rheumatoid Arthritis

The paper identifies immune cell populations and gene expression differences associated with non-inflammatory pain in RA patients using flow cytometry and single-cell RNA-seq.

Molecular effects of indoor tanning

This study examines the molecular effects of indoor tanning by analyzing mutation patterns in melanocytes from tanning bed users and finds increased mutation burdens and distinct mutational signatures.

Three Distinct Transcriptional Profiles of Monocytes Correlate with Disease Activity in SSc Patients

This study identifies three monocyte transcriptional subgroups in SSc patients that correlate with disease activity, particularly lung function.

The PTPRT pseudo-phosphatase domain is a denitrase

The study identifies the PTPRT pseudo-phosphatase domain as a denitrase that removes nitro-groups from tyrosine residues in paxillin, linking its dysfunction to tumor susceptibility.
