Genomics Yields Biological and Phenotypic Insights into Bipolar Disorder

Genomic Research on Bipolar Disorder Background Introduction Bipolar Disorder (BD) is a severe mental illness that significantly contributes to the global disease burden. Despite its high heritability (60-80%), the majority of its genetic basis remains unclear. Previous studies have primarily focused on European populations, with limited exploratio...

Spatiotemporal Imprinting of Tissue-Resident Memory CD8 T Cell Diversity

Spatiotemporal Imprinting of Tissue-Resident Memory CD8 T Cell Diversity Background Tissue-resident memory CD8 T cells (TRM cells) provide long-term immune protection at barrier sites such as the intestine. However, the heterogeneity of TRM cells and the mechanisms underlying their formation remain incompletely understood. Previous studies have ide...

The Maternal X Chromosome Affects Cognition and Brain Ageing in Female Mice

The Impact of the Maternal X Chromosome on Cognition and Brain Aging in Female Mice Background Introduction In mammals, female cells possess two X chromosomes, one from the mother (maternal X chromosome, Xm) and one from the father (paternal X chromosome, Xp). During embryonic development, one of the X chromosomes is randomly inactivated, a process...

Relmβ Sets the Threshold for Microbiome-Dependent Oral Tolerance

The Key Role of RELMβ in Food Allergy Academic Background Food allergy (FA) is a common immune system disorder, particularly prevalent among children. The occurrence of food allergy is associated with abnormal immune responses to food antigens, especially the dysregulation of type 2 immune responses. Type 2 immune responses are typically defense me...

Immune Evasion Through Mitochondrial Transfer in the Tumour Microenvironment

Mitochondrial Transfer and Immune Evasion Mechanisms in the Tumor Microenvironment Academic Background Tumor cells evade immune system attacks, particularly by T cells, through various mechanisms in the Tumor Microenvironment (TME). Although Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICIs) have achieved significant progress in the treatment of various cancers, ...

Complete Human Recombination Maps

Complete Human Recombination Maps Academic Background In genetic research, recombination is one of the key mechanisms by which organisms generate genetic diversity. Recombination not only affects the transmission and combination of genes but also plays a crucial role in natural selection and population history inference. However, existing recombina...

Precise Modelling of Mitochondrial Diseases Using Optimized Mitobes

Precise Modeling of Mitochondrial Diseases: Research Based on Optimized Mitobes Academic Background Mitochondrial diseases are a group of genetic disorders caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which affect cellular energy metabolism and lead to dysfunction in multiple organs. Mitochondrial DNA mutations can be homoplasmic (affecting al...

Rapid and Scalable Personalized ASO Screening in Patient-Derived Organoids

Establishment of a Personalized Antisense Oligonucleotide (ASO) Screening Platform Based on Patient-Derived Organoids Academic Background In recent years, with the rapid development of genome sequencing technologies, an increasing number of rare genetic diseases have been found to be associated with specific gene mutations. Antisense oligonucleotid...

Optimization-Based Conformal Path Planning for In Situ Bioprinting During Complex Skin Defect Repair

Optimization-Based Conformal Path Planning for In Situ Bioprinting in Complex Skin Defect Repair Academic Background The skin, as the largest organ in the human body, plays a crucial role in protecting the body from external harm. However, the high prevalence of skin injuries such as burns and chronic ulcers worldwide has led to an increasing deman...

Concurrently Bioprinted Scaffolds with Autologous Bone and Allogeneic BMSCs Promote Bone Regeneration through Native BMSC Recruitment

Research on 3D Bioprinted Scaffolds Promoting Bone Regeneration Academic Background In recent years, the incidence of head and craniofacial injuries has significantly increased due to the development of industries and transportation, as well as the frequent occurrence of wars and conflicts. These injuries and related treatments (such as decompressi...
