Effect of habitat degradation on hantavirus infection among introduced and endemic small mammals of Madagascar

The paper investigates how habitat degradation affects hantavirus infection in small mammals in Madagascar, finding higher prevalence in agricultural areas due to increased Rattus rattus abundance and smaller body size.

Clonal associations of lymphocyte subsets and functional states revealed by single cell antigen receptor profiling of T and B cells in rheumatoid arthritis synovium

This study uses single-cell antigen receptor profiling to identify clonal relationships and functional states of T and B cells in RA synovium.

The macroevolutionary impact of recent and imminent mammal extinctions on Madagascar

The paper quantifies the long-term evolutionary impact of current and potential mammal extinctions in Madagascar, showing that losing threatened species would have a deeper impact than past extinctions.

Co-radiation of Leptospira and Tenrecidae (Afrotheria) on Madagascar

The paper investigates the co-radiation of Leptospira mayottensis with tenrecids on Madagascar and its recent emergence in human populations on Mayotte.

Clonally expanded CD38hi cytotoxic CD8 T cells define the T cell infiltrate in checkpoint inhibitor-associated arthritis

This study identifies a distinct CD38hi cytotoxic CD8 T cell subset in ICI-induced arthritis, showing clonal expansion and IFN-driven activation.

Bat coronavirus phylogeography in the western Indian Ocean

This study identifies coronavirus prevalence and phylogenetic diversity in bats across the Western Indian Ocean, finding higher prevalence in continental Africa and strong host-virus co-evolution.

Diversification of a cryptic radiation, a closer look at Madagascar’s recently recognized bird family

The paper presents a comprehensive phylogeny of the Bernieridae family to examine its diversification history and discover cryptic species within it.

HBEGF+ macrophages identified in rheumatoid arthritis promote joint tissue invasiveness and are reshaped differentially by medications

A newly identified human macrophage phenotype in RA promotes joint tissue invasiveness and shows variable responses to anti-inflammatory medications.

Defining Inflammatory Cell States in Rheumatoid Arthritis Joint Synovial Tissues by Integrating Single-cell Transcriptomics and Mass Cytometry

The paper identifies key inflammatory cell states in RA synovial tissues using integrated single-cell and mass cytometry data from patient samples.

High dimensional analyses of cells dissociated from cryopreserved synovial tissue

This paper establishes a protocol for dissociating cryopreserved synovial tissue to obtain viable cells with preserved transcriptomes and surface markers, enabling high-dimensional analysis of rheumatoid arthritis pathology.

Single Cell Transcriptomics And Flow Cytometry Reveal Disease-Associated Fibroblast Subsets In Rheumatoid Arthritis

The paper identifies disease-associated fibroblast subsets in rheumatoid arthritis using single-cell transcriptomics and flow cytometry, revealing subset-specific markers and functional differences.
