A Metabolic Gene Survey Pinpoints Fucosylation as a Key Pathway Underlying the Suppressive Function of Regulatory T Cells in Cancer

[Nature Genetics] To identify noncoding regions with accessible chromatin that associate with cell-state-defining gene expression patterns, researchers leveraged multimodal single-nucleus RNA and assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing data across 28,674 cells from the inflamed synovial tissue of 12 donors.

[Nature] The authors generated single-nucleus RNA-sequencing data for ~400,000 cells to trace cerebellum development from early neurogenesis to adulthood in human, mouse, and the marsupial opossum.

[Nature Reviews Drug Discovery] Investigators discuss recent advances in understanding the molecular and cellular pathways that impair synapses in neurodegenerative diseases, including the effects of protein aggregation and neuroinflammation.
