Environment-dependent landscapes of coding variant impacts on coproporphyrinogen oxidase
Warren van Loggerenberg, Haotian Zhang, Vignesh Senguttuvan…·Frederick P. Roth
The paper systematically assesses the functional impact of CPOX variants under different environmental conditions, revealing mercury-dependent variant effects and improving variant classification.

PCSK9 dependent cholesterol acquisition and utilization underlies metastatic organ preference in pancreatic cancer.
Gilles Rademaker, Grace A. Hernandez, Sumena Dahal…·Rushika M. Perera
This study identifies PCSK9 as a key determinant of metastatic organ preference in pancreatic cancer by regulating cholesterol acquisition and utilization in liver versus lung environments.

Perinatal liver inflammation is associated with persistent elevation of CXCL10 and its canonical receptor CXCR3 on common myeloid progenitors
Anas Alkhani, Suruthi Baskaran, Abhishek Murti…·Amar Nijagal
This study shows that perinatal liver inflammation leads to long-term changes in myeloid progenitors through the CXCL10-CXCR3 axis, which may contribute to immune dysfunction in biliary atresia.

Comprehensive characterization of the transcriptional response to COVID-19 in multiple organs reveals shared signatures across tissues
Alejandro A. Granados, Simon Bucher, Aditi Agrawal…·Bruce Wang
The paper characterizes the transcriptional response to COVID-19 across multiple organs using single-nuclei RNA sequencing, identifying shared transcriptional signatures in endothelial cells and macrophages.

Concordance of MERFISH Spatial Transcriptomics with Bulk and Single-cell RNA Sequencing
Jonathan Liu, Vanessa Tran, Venkata N. P. Vemuri…·Norma F Neff
The paper compares MERFISH spatial transcriptomics with bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing in mouse liver and kidney, finding MERFISH provides comparable results and robust cell type identification without needing integration with scRNA-seq atlases.

Polygenic enrichment distinguishes disease associations of individual cells in single-cell RNA-seq data
Martin Jinye Zhang, Kangcheng Hou, Kushal K. Dey…·Alkes L. Price
This paper introduces scDRS, a method to identify disease-associated cells in scRNA-seq data using polygenic risk scores, finding novel subpopulations linked to diseases like IBD and schizophrenia.

Pituitary stem cells produce paracrine WNT signals to control the expansion of their descendant progenitor cells
John P. Russell, Xinhong Lim, Alice Santambrogio…·Cynthia L. Andoniadou
The paper shows that pituitary stem cells secrete WNT signals that promote the proliferation of neighboring progenitor cells.

Tissue repair in the mouse liver following acute carbon tetrachloride depends on injury-induced Wnt/β-catenin signaling
Ludan Zhao, Yinhua Jin, Katie Donahue…·Roeland Nusse
This study shows that Wnt/β-catenin signaling, driven by endothelial cells, is critical for liver repair after acute carbon tetrachloride injury.
