Ibrutinib Suppresses Early Megakaryopoiesis but Enhances Proplatelet Formation

Researchers investigated the mechanism by which ibrutinib induces thrombocytopenia using cord blood CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells, a human megakaryoblastic cell line, and C57BL/6 mice.

Single-Cell Genomics Reveals a Novel Cell State during Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotypic Switching and Potential Therapeutic Targets for Atherosclerosis in Mouse and Human

To reveal the trajectories of smooth muscle cell (SMC) transdifferentiation during atherosclerosis and to identify molecular targets for disease therapy, researchers combined SMC fate mapping and single-cell RNA sequencing of both mouse and human atherosclerotic plaques.

Ribosomal Profiling During Prion Disease Uncovers Progressive Translational Derangement in Glia but Not in Neurons

The authors applied a combination of translating ribosome affinity purification and ribosome profiling to identify biologically relevant prion-induced changes during disease progression in a cell-type specific and genome-wide manner. Terminally diseased mice with severe neurological symptoms showed extensive alterations in astrocytes and microglia.

An Optimized Quantitative Proteomics Method Establishes the Cell Type-Resolved Mouse Brain Secretome

High‐performance secretome protein enrichment with click sugars method was used to identify the secretory response of brain slices upon LPS‐induced neuroinflammation and to establish the cell type‐resolved mouse brain secretome resource using primary astrocytes, microglia, neurons, and oligodendrocytes.

Omental Macrophages Secrete Chemokine Ligands That Promote Ovarian Cancer Colonization of the Omentum via CCR1

Investigators report that omental macrophages promoted the migration and colonization of ovarian cancer cells to the omentum through the secretion of chemokine ligands that interacted with chemokine receptor 1.

Tackling TAMs for Cancer Immunotherapy: It’s Nano Time

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a highly complex environment that surrounds tumors. Interactions between cancer cells/non-cancerous cells and cells/non-cell components in the TME support tumor initiation, development, and metastasis. Of the cell types in the TME, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) have gained attention owing to their crucial roles in supporting tumors and conferring therapy resistance.

Lung Mesenchymal Cells Elicit Lipid Storage in Neutrophils That Fuel Breast Cancer Lung Metastasis

In breast cancer models, scientists found that neutrophils were induced to accumulate neutral lipids upon interaction with resident mesenchymal cells in the premetastatic lung.

Roles of Fibrinolytic Factors in the Alterations in Bone Marrow Hematopoietic Stem/Progenitor Cells during Bone Repair

Osteoblasts, osteoclasts, chondrocytes, and macrophages involved in the bone repair process originate from hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells and mesenchymal stem cells in the bone marrow.
