This study identifies a conserved neural stem cell pool driving continuous CNS regeneration in Botryllus schlosseri, showing aging disrupts this process.

The paper investigates mobilized human HSC and finds they rapidly express G0-associated quiescence markers despite recent cell divisions.

The paper isolates and characterizes two postnatal human neural stem cell subsets, showing their fate biases and decline in frequency over time.

This study identifies xenophagocytosis as an innate immune barrier that limits interspecies chimerism and shows that blocking it enhances donor cell engraftment in mouse embryos.

This study investigates age-related changes in germline stem cells (GSCs) in the protochordate Botryllus schlosseri using single-cell RNA sequencing and transplantation assays, revealing that GSCs, not gametes, drive reproductive aging.

This paper introduces a method to capture non-coding RNAs in single-cell RNA-seq, revealing new insights into gene regulation in immune cells, infected hepatocytes, and brain development.

This study models glioma intratumoral heterogeneity using primary human neural stem and progenitor cells, showing how cell-of-origin influences tumor subtypes.

This paper identifies activated interstitial macrophages as a key target of SARS-CoV-2 infection in human lung tissue, showing their role in viral takeover, inflammation, and fibrosis.
