Epigenetically constrained astrocyte states underlie prefrontal cortex vulnerability in Down syndrome associated Alzheimer disease
Chuhanwen Sun, Raina W. Thomas, Cherie A Stringer…·Jiekun Yang
The paper identifies a vulnerable astrocyte state in the prefrontal cortex of Down syndrome-associated Alzheimer's disease through integrated single-nucleus RNA-seq and ATAC-seq analysis.

Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity Alter Exercise Training-Induced Transcriptional Adaptations to Subcutaneous White Adipose Tissue
Roeland J.W. Middelbeek, Jiekun Yang, Pasquale Nigro…·Laurie J. Goodyear
This study examines how exercise training affects subcutaneous white adipose tissue transcriptomes in individuals with obesity and T2D, finding that exercise reverses detrimental gene expression patterns and correlates with improved metabolic markers.

Integrated single cell and unsupervised spatial transcriptomic analysis defines molecular anatomy of the human dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
Louise A. Huuki-Myers, Abby Spangler, Nicholas J. Eagles…·Peng Jin
The paper generates a molecular neuroanatomical map of the human prefrontal cortex using spatial transcriptomics and single nucleus RNA-sequencing, revealing novel spatial domains and cell-cell interactions linked to psychiatric disorders.
