Mapping the Developmental Potential of Mouse Inner Ear Organoids at Single-Cell Resolution
[iScience] Researchers used single-cell sequencing to study the cellular heterogeneity of late-stage mouse inner ear organoid sensory epithelia, which they validated by comparison with data sets of the mouse cochlea and vestibular epithelia.

Microbiota-Derived Butyrate Restricts Tuft Cell Differentiation via Histone Deacetylase 3 to Modulate Intestinal Type 2 Immunity
[Immunity] Investigators examined the impact of the microbiota on tuft cell biology in the intestine. Succinate induction of tuft cells and type 2 innate lymphoid cells was elevated with loss of gut microbiota.

Precise CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Repair in Autologous Memory T Cells to Treat Familial Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis
[Science Immunology] The authors used an adeno-associated virus–based CRISPR-Cas9 system with an inhibitor of nonhomologous end joining to repair such mutations in potentially long-lived T cells ex vivo.

The Immunology of Type 1 Diabetes
[Nature Reviews Immunology] The authors provide an overview of the immune mechanisms that underpin the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes, with a particular emphasis on T cells.

Influence of Skeletal Muscle and Intermuscular Fat on Postoperative Complications and Long-Term Survival in Rectal Cancer Patients
[Journal Of Cachexia Sarcopenia And Muscle] This retrospective cohort study included patients with rectal cancer who underwent surgical resection. CT images within 3 months prior to the surgery were used to quantify the indices of skeletal muscle and adipose tissue at the levels of the third lumbar vertebra and umbilicus.

CD57-Positive CD8+ T Cells Define the Response to Anti-Programmed Cell Death Protein-1 Immunotherapy in Patients with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
[npj Precision Oncology] Single-cell mass cytometry was utilized to analyze immune cell subsets in peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from non-small cell lung cancer patients before and 12 weeks after single-agent immunotherapy.

ApoE4 Disrupts Intracellular Trafficking and Iron Homeostasis in a Reproducible iPSC-Based Model of Human Brain Endothelial Cells
[Stem Cell Reports] The authors developed a reproducible protocol for induced pluripotent stem cells based on a defined chemical cocktail and extracellular matrix support to differentiate brain endothelial cells.
Isolation of Endothelial Progenitor Cells from Human Adipose Tissue
[International Journal of Obesity] Omental and subcutaneous adipose tissue (AT) specimens were obtained during abdominal surgery. Following AT digestion with collagenase, both the filtered and unfiltered stromal vascular fractions of AT were used.
Mitochondrial-Encoded Peptide MOTS-C Prevents Pancreatic Islet Cell Senescence to Delay Diabetes
[Experimental & Molecular Medicine] Scientists showed that mitochondrial ORF of the 12S rRNA type-c (MOTS-c) levels decrease with aging and senescence in pancreatic islet cells. Treating aged C57BL/6 mouse pancreatic islets with MOTS-c reduced pancreatic islet senescence by modulating nuclear gene expression and metabolites involved in β-cell senescence.
