{triangleup}9-Tetrahydrocannabinol exposure shifts eosinophil and macrophage transcriptional programs towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype in helminth infection

THC reduces inflammatory responses and reprograms lung eosinophils and macrophages during helminth infection.

Helminth infection induces RELMa-dependent adipose tissue transcriptional reprogramming and protection against diet-induced obesity

This study shows that helminth infection via RELM reduces diet-induced obesity by altering adipose tissue transcription and function in mice.

Beyond Motility: A Multiparametric Fitness Assay Framework to Evaluate Anthelmintics in Nippostrongylus brasiliensis

The paper develops a multiparametric fitness assay to evaluate anthelmintics in Nippostrongylus brasiliensis, finding that NCR247 does not significantly impair parasite fitness across tested parameters.

Deciphering Abnormal Platelet Subpopulations in Inflammatory Diseases through Machine Learning and Single-Cell Transcriptomics

The paper uses single-cell transcriptomics and machine learning to analyze platelet subpopulations in sepsis, COVID-19, and SLE, identifying disease-associated transcriptional signatures and potential therapeutic targets.

Plasticity of gene expression in the nervous system by exposure to environmental odorants that inhibit HDACs

The paper investigates how exposure to volatile chemicals, like diacetyl, affects gene expression and physiology by inhibiting HDACs in Drosophila and human cells.
