This study maps spatial dynamics in early human heart development using single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, identifying cell states and novel features like cardiac fibroblasts and chromaffin cells.

This paper presents a method to simultaneously detect host and SARS-CoV-2 transcriptomes in lung tissue and identifies pathway shifts in infected cells.

The paper shows that MSK-mediated phosphorylation of histone H3 at serine 28 couples MAPK signaling with chromatin remodelling and immediate early gene expression to induce pro-hypertrophic cardiac transcriptional responses.
