    Abstract

    Single-Cell Profiling Reveals Kidney CD163+ Dendritic Cell Participation in Human Lupus Nephritis

    Single-cell RNA and T cell receptor sequencing were performed on renal biopsy tissues from 40 patients with lupus nephritis (LN) and 6 healthy donors as controls. Matched peripheral blood samples from seven LN patients were also sequenced.

    Immune Cell Composition and Inflammatory Profile of Human Peri-Implantitis and Periodontitis Lesions

    Scientists assessed the immune cell composition of peri-implantitis and periodontitis lesions and the corresponding inflammatory profile in soft tissues and crevicular fluid. Peri-implantitis, periodontitis, and control patients were recruited, and soft tissue biopsies were collected during surgery.
