This study shows TRPV1+ sensory neurons protect against influenza by modulating myeloid cell responses and reducing immunopathology.

The paper uses single-cell RNA sequencing to identify and characterize neuropeptide and peptide hormone genes in pulmonary neuroendocrine cells from mice and humans, revealing their diverse signaling roles and potential endocrine functions.

Nearly 500,000 cells from 24 human tissues, many from one donor, characterize over 400 cell types and enable within-donor study of T-cell clones, B-cell mutation rates and splicing.

This study uses single-cell RNA-sequencing to analyze cell type-specific responses to young or aged blood in heterochronic parabiosis, identifying mitochondrial function as a key factor in rejuvenation.
