Transcriptional down-regulation of metabolic genes by Gdown1 ablation induces quiescent cell re-entry into the cell cycle

Miki Jishage, Keiichi Ito, Chi-Shuen Chu, Xiaoling Wang, Masashi Yamaji, Robert G. Roeder

This study shows that Gdown1 ablation reduces Pol II recruitment to metabolic genes, leading to cell cycle re-entry and p53-dependent changes in hepatocytes.

Cell-Type-Specific Expression of Renin-Angiotensin-System Components in the Human Body and Its Relevance to SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Hemant Suryawanshi, Pavel S Morozov, Thangamani Muthukumar, Benjamin Robert tenOever, Masashi Yamaji, Zev Williams, Thomas Tuschl

The paper examines cell-type-specific expression of RAS components across 141 cell types using scRNA-seq and links ACE2 expression to SARS-CoV-2 infection mechanisms.
