PI 3-kinase isoform p110α mediated FOXO1 inactivation protects against aortic aneurysm formation

This study shows that p110α-mediated FOXO1 inactivation in smooth muscle cells prevents aortic aneurysm formation by maintaining vascular homeostasis and promoting reparative SMC phenotypes.

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells regulate megakaryocyte and platelet homeostasis

This study identifies plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) as regulators of megakaryopoiesis and platelet homeostasis, showing their role in maintaining steady-state and stress conditions, and their involvement in SARS-CoV2-induced thrombosis.

Monocyte-derived macrophages aggravate pulmonary vasculitis via cGAS/STING/IFN-mediated nucleic acid sensing

This study identifies cGAS/STING/IFN-mediated nucleic acid sensing by monocyte-derived macrophages as a driver of severe pulmonary vasculitis and shows that targeting this pathway reduces disease severity.

PD1+ T-cells correlate with Nerve Fiber Density as a prognostic biomarker in patients with resected perihilar cholangiocarcinoma.

The paper investigates the association between PD1+ T-cells and nerve fiber density (NFD) in resected perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) patients, finding that high NFD correlates with improved overall survival.

CALR frameshift mutations in MPN patient-derived iPS cells accelerate maturation of megakaryocytes

This study shows CALR mutations in iPS cells from MPN patients accelerate megakaryocyte maturation and identify hypoxia signaling as a therapeutic target.

Cell-type apoptosis in lung during SARS-CoV-2 infection

This study investigates cell-type apoptosis in lung tissues during SARS-CoV-2 infection, finding both intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways are activated, while some cell types remain refractory to infection.

Deep learning detects virus presence in cancer histology

This paper uses deep learning to detect the presence of HPV and EBV in cancer histology images, achieving high accuracy in predicting virus-associated tumors.
