[Cell Death Discovery] IL-37 isoform D transgene amplified ST2+ immune cells, promoted M2 macrophage polarization and type 2 cytokine secretion in white adipose tissue that mediated beiging and inflammation resolution, thereby increasing energy expenditure, reducing obesity and insulin resistance in high-fat diet-fed mice.

[Cell Death & Disease] Researchers demonstrated that a positive correlation of protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) expression and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO)-induced vascular inflammation, with upregulated vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 expression in primary rat and human vascular smooth muscle cells in vitro.

[Journal of Experimental Medicine] Researchers explored the role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and identified reduced expression of miR-374a-5p in IBD monocytes that correlated with a module of up-regulated genes related to the inflammatory response.

[Stem Cell Reports] Scientists report successful targeting of the CCR5 locus in iPSCs generated from T cells or fibroblasts from Mauritian cynomolgus macaques, using CRISPR-Cas9 technology.

[Cell Death & Disease] Researchers investigated the functional subsets of γδ T cells in hepatic fibrosis and to further explore the underlying causes and drivers of migration.

[Nature Communications] Scientists profiled 54,103 cells from tumor and adjacent tissues to characterize cellular composition and elucidated the potential origin and regulation of tumor-enriched cell types in colorectal cancer.
