The paper maps concealed mitochondrial DNA mutations across 2.7 million cells from 311 individuals, finding that low-prevalence mutations accumulate with age and predict human age.

The paper examines how three common assumptions in stable isotope labelling studies affect interpretations of cell dynamics and proposes ways to reduce resulting errors.

This paper develops and validates a crude lysate ddPCR assay for accurate absolute quantification of rare genes like TRECs from limited clinical samples, eliminating DNA extraction and improving performance over standard ddPCR.

The paper investigates how inhibitory KIRs modify HLA class II protective associations in Type 1 Diabetes, finding that iKIRs reduce HLA class II-mediated protection.
